Those following along with Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR) will no doubt be intrigued by the recent purchase of shares by Christopher Winfrey, President of the company, who spent a stonking US$1.0m on stock at an average price of US$273. While that only increased their holding size by 1.7%, it is still a big swing by our standards.

Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

Charter Communications Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

In fact, the recent purchase by Christopher Winfrey was the biggest purchase of Charter Communications shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. That means that even when the share price was higher than US$269 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. To us, it's very important to consider the price insiders pay for shares. Generally speaking, it catches our eye when an insider has purchased shares at above current prices, as it suggests they believed the shares were worth buying, even at a higher price.

This kind of significant ownership by insiders does generally increase the chance that the company is run in the interest of all shareholders.
