Open-market buys require personal capital, unlike grants and options
Grants, option exercises and performance awards are compensation. Open-market purchases are funded by insiders themselves and disclosed on SEDI in Canada and on Form 4 in the United States. A purchase does not forecast returns, but it is a disclosed decision by someone with detailed knowledge of the business.
