RE:Insider BuyingThe Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday, Dec. 11, edition that the stock price of petroleum products marketer and refiner Parkland has lagged the S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index by almost 100 per cent over the past year. The Globe's guest columnist Ted Dixon writes in the Who Is Buying and Selling column that investors have likely worried that rising crude prices would affect margins. Meanwhile, logistical problems associated with the floods in British Columbia have also weighed on sentiment. However, Mr. Dixon says there are signals suggesting that pessimism toward Parkland's stock may be overdone. For example, trailing 12-months earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization per share is up. Importantly, insiders, including chief financial officer Marcel Teunissen, have been buying recently, perhaps betting a lot of bad news is priced in. The Globe reported on Nov. 22 that Desjardins Securities analyst David Newman had reiterated his "buy" recommendation for Parkland. The shares could then be had for $34.20.
