Insider Buying Week 06-21-24

It’s that familiar time of year again when insiders are blocked from transacting in their own stock due to pending 2nd quarter earnings.

Nonetheless, it only takes one or two good investments to make your portfolio a winner. I’m highly confident we have that this week.
