Glitter of Buying at Peregrine Diamonds
Although diamonds have more or less been the forgotten commodity in the precious metals group, junior miner Peregrine Diamonds (yesterday's closing price $2.84) has recently grabbed the attention of insiders.
Over the past 30 days, insiders as a group have acquired 163,700 shares through either the public market or option exercises. In terms of buying in the market, Richard Cohen and Roderick Davey bought a combined total of 22,200 shares between Sept. 21-28 at prices ranging from $1.78 to $3.78.
Meanwhile, six insiders, including Mr. Cohen also exercised a combined total of 141,500 options during the period and did not subsequently sell any shares. Multiple insider buying in the public market is usually a positive signal. This combined with multiple insiders exercising options and not selling strengthens the positive Peregrine insider sentiment reading.
