Bargain hunters are wise to pay careful attention to insider buying, because although there are many various reasons for an insider to sell a stock, presumably the only reason they would use their hard-earned cash to make a purchase, is that they expect to make money.

Today we look at two noteworthy recent insider buys.

On Wednesday, Bridgewater Bancshares's Director, David B.

Juran, made a $515,199 buy of BWB, purchasing 54,457 shares at a cost of $9.46 a piece.

Juran was up about 3.3% on the purchase at the high point of today's trading session, with BWB trading as high as $9.77 in trading on Thursday.

And on Tuesday, Director Lawrence J.
