When a single insider purchases stock, it is typically not a major deal. However, when multiple insiders purchase stock, like in EQT Holdings Limited's (ASX:EQT) instance, it's good news for shareholders.

Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.
