There's an old saying on Wall Street about insider buying: there are many possible reasons to sell a stock, but only one reason to buy. Back on February 12, Seacoast Banking Corp. of Florida's Director, Joseph B. Shearouse III, invested $132,760.00 into 4,000 shares of SBCF, for a cost per share of $33.19. Bargain hunters tend to pay particular attention to insider buys like this one, because presumably the only reason an insider would take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock of their company in the open market, is that they expect to make money. In trading on Wednesday, bargain hunters could buy shares of Seacoast Banking Corp. of Florida (Symbol: SBCF) and achieve a cost basis even cheaper than Shearouse III, with shares changing hands as low as $33.11 per share. Seacoast Banking Corp. of Florida shares are currently trading up about 1.2% on the day. The chart below shows the one year performance of SBCF shares, versus its 200 day moving average:
