It would be nice to know that they knew the stock was going up in the very near future, but that is clearly not the case. The stock has not reacted since the insider purchases began, and probably won't as a result going forward.
And if they did indeed know something that is not privy to other investors, then they are complete morons for purchasing stock on the open market, as they would be in SEC violation and subject to a class action lawsuit and penalty.
These random small buys are as confusing to me as anything else that happens with this stock. The Q1 report may change things, but for some reason, this sales model is not being viewed as sustainable by the street. As Auricgoldfinger mentioned, arising regulatory issues could be playing a roll as well. IMO, Wallach needs to acquire a single respected sales windfall with his remaining shares nearing the half billon dollar mark, which is obviously easier said than done. He needs to create some strength and credibility and stop piece-mealing the company's revenue stream through these random, misdirected, mediocre acquisitions. A mass merger will put many questions to rest as to his final vision and intentions, and maybe then YGYI will secure some large, stable investors.
