Top insider trades (week of Mar 15)

How CEO Watcher Works

Welcome to this week’s edition of CEO Watcher.

This is the only tool that tracks the returns of insiders so we know which insider trades are worth copying.

This week we found:

• ZBIO is up over 30% after a 3-point purchase by the CEO

• CEO at PTEN bought $200k of the stock

• and more…

Have a great weekend and thanks for reading!
