Research suggests that directors know their companies better than the market. For many investors it is intuitive that following the trading patterns of directors and other company insiders can lead to successful investing. They often have detailed knowledge about their companies and generally know when the shares are incorrectly valued. However, that is not always true and with large numbers of trades reported every day on exchanges around the world, it is difficult to know which to follow.
