Pick Up This Cheap 4.6% Yield Dividend Stock Even Lower Than Director Stemler Did

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 March 18, WesBanco Inc's Director, Kerry M. Stemler, invested $30,800.67 into 940 shares of WSBC, for a cost per share of $32.77. 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 Monday, bargain hunters could buy shares of WesBanco Inc (Symbol: WSBC) and achieve a cost basis even cheaper than Stemler, with shares changing hands as low as $32.74 per share.
