Top Buys by Directors: Campbell Jr.'s $199K Bet on CRMTBy Dividend Channel Staff, Thursday, April 11, 11:27 AM ETThe directors of a company tend to have a unique inside view into the business, so when directors make major buys, investors are wise to take notice. Presumably the only reason a director of a company would choose to take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock in the open market, is that they expect to make money — maybe they find the stock very undervalued, or maybe they see exciting progress within the company, or maybe both.

Campbell Jr., CEO at America's Car-Mart Inc (NASDAQ:CRMT). Campbell Jr. bets big on CRMT:
