Trustee David Barry lifted 100 shares @ $810 on 10/11/18.

This follows his last purchase of 100 @ $292 on 3/3/17.

Robert Packer also lifted 100 the same way as Barry on 3/3/17.

These three transactions are the only insider buys recorded for the “boom” years of 2016, 2017, and 2018.

Positive sign?  Overall you could argue that disclosed insider buys have been lower than seems rational.  Mr. Barry buying up here might give some validation to the current price given his insider status and long time history with the Trust.
