Monday 3/18 Insider Buying Report: GEO, OPK The Online Investor - 10 hours, 58 minutes ago 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 cash to make a purchase, is that they expect to make money.

On Thursday, GEO Group's Executive Chairman, George C. Zoley, made a $624,025 buy of GEO, purchasing 50,000 shares at a cost of $12.48 each.
