There is always a dialogue around this question and the rules are not crystal clear. Insiders will tend to always know something but of course they can often buy despite this knowledge. However if they knew a major deal was going to be announced tomorrow, they could not use that information to buy right before the announcement. Are two days okay - probably not. What about an expectation for next quarter but not guaranteed - yes okay.

I tend to think people overstate the restriction as a mental answer as to why there isn't buying. Now there are many good reasons for no insider buying and the best one is that they have sufficient holdings of shares and options and that more is imprudent from a diversification perspective. So I wouldn't view a lack of buying as a negative sign but I wouldn't also view it as a positive assuming great news to come.
