Article Abstract:
Trustmark Corp. insiders have been accumulating shares of the bank holding company at surprisingly high prices. Ten insiders purchased stocks at between $16.50-$19.38, levels which are near the stock's all-time peaks. This accummulation is also puzzling, since the company paid out $38.5 million in claims arising from a case it lost in Jan. 1995. All these indications point to a large potential for the stock's increase in value, a potential being acted upon by insiders.
