While Wrkr Ltd (ASX:WRK) shareholders have had a good week with the stock up 13%, insiders can't say the same having sold stock over the past year. They could have sold their shares at much higher prices and gotten a better return on their investment if they had waited.

While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Wrkr

In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the insider, Donald Sharp, sold AU$367k worth of shares at a price of AU$0.07 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even below the current price of AU$0.14. When an insider sells below the current price, it suggests that they considered that lower price to be fair. That makes us wonder what they think of the (higher) recent valuation. Please do note, however, that sellers may have a variety of reasons for selling, so we don't know for sure what they think of the stock price. This single sale was just 4.4% of Donald Sharp's stake. The only individual insider seller over the last year was Donald Sharp. Notably Donald Sharp was also the biggest buyer, having purchased AU$41k worth of shares.

Happily, we note that in the last year insiders paid AU$41k for 439.34k shares. But insiders sold 3.47m shares worth AU$367k.
