NEW YORK, September 4 /Market News Video/ -- Bargain hunters are wise to pay careful attention to insider buying, because although there are many various reasons for an insider to sell a stock, presumably the only reason they would use their hard-earned dollars to make a purchase, is that they expect to make money. Today we look at two noteworthy recent insider buys.
At Lumen Technologies, a filing with the SEC revealed that on Tuesday, Director James Fowler bought 10,000 shares of LUMN, at a cost of $4.70 each, for a total investment of $46,990.

And on Friday, Director Peter F. Lyle Sr. purchased $26,563 worth of Healthcare Realty Trust, purchasing 1,500 shares at a cost of $17.71 a piece.
