It's difficult to buy a fat percentage of a large cap no matter who the insider is. AEM is around $10 billion cap with 0.2% insider ownership and GG is just a $736 million cap but with only 0.2% insider shares. A glaring exception to this rule is BVN - they are a $10 billion cap company with no less than 37% insider ownership! <br /><br />An excellent source to check on these figures is finviz.com - just click on "ownership" in the menu at the top and enter a ticker. They just do US exchanges (none of the good Canadian stuff).<br /><br />I'm looking at this market cap vs significance of insider levels issue, and will put up a post soon.Bruce Pilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15066962052800376422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3282424752485226688.post-35584963814984233442010-09-07T21:49:39.162-07:002010-09-07T21:49:39.162-07:00This is an excellent review about how to invest in...This is an excellent review about how to invest in gold stocks. Insider positions is "perhaps" the best way to view the "potential" of a junior gold miner.<br />Can you do this for the majors?<br /><br />Will see what I can find for AEM and GG as well as CSI.TO (operations in Brazil but a Canadian Firm). Thank you for the insight.<br /><br />cheers from rainy Austin Texas/Sept.7, 2010 @<br />11:47 pm CSTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
