Hopefully this data proves useful. I looked for direct inside purchases in 2009 for an average price greater than current quote on 03/13/09. My universe was 4,520 companies. Many were smaller companies.
The screen also included
EV/Price <1.50
Shorts as a percentage of float <10
Price > Average price paid by insiders
Direct open mareket purchases
Average 3 years shares outstanding / TTM shares outstanding > .94
Their will be a link providing fundamental data. But in my opinion the information needs further analysis.
Only the top results ranked by 2009 Inside Purchases/EV
