Ten Bargains You Can Buy Cheaper Than The Insiders »

There's an old saying on Wall Street about insider buying: there are many possible reasons to sell a stock, but only one reason to buy. Back on February 16, Old Republic International Corp.'s Director, Barbara Adachi, invested $55,055.00 into 1,925 shares of ORI, for a cost per share of $28.60. Bargain hunters tend to pay particular attention to insider buys like this one, because presumably the only reason an insider would take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock of their company in the open market, is that they expect to make money.

In trading on Wednesday, bargain hunters could buy shares of Old Republic International Corp. (NYSE:ORI) and achieve a cost basis 1.3% cheaper than Adachi, with shares changing hands as low as $28.22 per share. Old Republic International Corp. shares are currently trading down about 0.5% on the day. The chart below shows the one year performance of ORI shares, versus its 200 day moving average:
