Featured below are companies that have experienced recent insider trading activity in the public market through their direct and indirect ownerships, including accounts they have control or direction over.

The list features insider transaction activity; it does not convey total ownership information as an insider may hold numerous accounts.

Keep in mind, when looking at transaction activities by insiders, purchasing activity may reflect perceived value in a security. Selling activity may or may not be related to a stock's valuation; perhaps an insider needs to raise money for personal reasons. An insider's total holdings should be considered because a sale may, in context, be insignificant if this person has a large remaining position in the company. I tend to put great weight on insider transaction activity when I see multiple insiders trading a company's shares or units.

Let's begin the report featuring two stocks that have had insider buying activity.

Black Diamond Group Ltd. (BDI-T)

On Feb. 1 and Feb. 2, Edward Kernaghan, with an ownership position of over 10 per cent, purchased a total of 117,900 shares for an account in which he has indirect ownership (Kernwood Ltd.), increasing the account's holdings to 4,775,400 shares.

Between Jan. 17 and Feb. 5, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman George Fink purchased a total of 33,300 shares, increasing his portfolio's position to 3,269,499 shares.
