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. Today we look at two noteworthy recent insider buys.

On Thursday, Darling Ingredients', Kurt Stoffel, made a $332,960 buy of DAR, purchasing 8,000 shares at a cost of $41.62 each. Stoffel was up about 5.1% on the purchase at the high point of today's trading session, with DAR trading as high as $43.74 at last check today. Darling Ingredients is trading up about 3.4% on the day Friday. This buy marks the first one filed by Stoffel in the past twelve months.

And at FS KKR Capital, there was insider buying on Wednesday, by CIO Daniel Pietrzak who bought 10,000 shares at a cost of $18.74 each, for a trade totaling $187,381.
