Notably, that recent purchase by Jarrod Longcor is the biggest insider purchase of Cellectar Biosciences shares that we've seen in the last year.
So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, at around the current price, which is US$1.18. Of course they may have changed their mind. But this suggests they are optimistic. If someone buys shares at well below current prices, it's a good sign on balance,
but keep in mind they may no longer see value. Happily, the Cellectar Biosciences insiders decided to buy shares at close to current prices.

What Might The Insider Transactions At Cellectar Biosciences Tell Us?
It's certainly positive to see the recent insider purchases. And the longer term insider transactions also give us confidence.
But on the other hand, the company made a loss during the last year, which
makes us a little cautious. On this analysis the only slight negative we see is the fairly low (overall) insider ownership;
their transactions suggest that they are quite positive on Cellectar Biosciences stock. While we like knowing what's going on with the insider's ownership and transactions, we make sure to also consider what risks are facing a stock before making any investment decision.
