Get An Even Better Deal On EGHT Than Director Hecker Jr. Did

There's an old saying on Wall Street about insider buying: there are many possible reasons to sell a stock, but only one reason to buy. Back on November 3, 8x8 Inc.'s Director, Guy L Hecker Jr., invested $153,699.99 into 41,480 shares of EGHT, for a cost per share of $3.71. Bargain hunters tend to pay particular attention to insider buys like this one, because presumably the only reason an insider would take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock of their company in the open market, is that they expect to make money.
