Friday 12/12 Insider Buying Report: ANVS, ECL

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.

At Annovis Bio, a filing with the SEC revealed that on Monday, Director Michael B. Hoffman bought 45,000 shares of ANVS, for a cost of $4.31 each, for a total investment of $193,794.
