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.

At Sempra Energy, a filing with the SEC revealed that on Tuesday, Director Cynthia Lynn Walker purchased 1,000 shares of SRE, at a cost of $117.70 each, for a total investment of $117,700.

Walker was up about 3.3% on the purchase at the high point of today's trading session, with SRE trading as high as $121.55 at last check today.

And also on Tuesday, Daniel Rubin bought $103,356 worth of Bridge Bancorp, buying 5,000 shares at a cost of $20.67 a piece.
