Some good skinny from an article

“An investment in the company by the director themselves, in cash, is a clear signal of the directors perception as to the current valuation of the company’s shares. In the US this is termed ‘insider activity’ or ‘insider dealings’, the director being an ‘insider’ at the company.

Options, Executive share schemes, and other methods of increasing directors ownership are often imposed on the directors by the company, or offered as a way of buying half price shares by the director (in the cases where the company matches the executives purchase). It is believed that an increased ownership by directors aligns them more closely with investors. These are therefore not a cash investment by the director, and in my view should not be taken as a signal by investors.

But would BB do this if they were being bought out????
