3. Financial Markets

a. Trading and Liquidity (0.5 mark): If it is a publicly traded company, examine the portion of the shares that is available for trading (free float) and how much trading there is in the company (by looking at trading volume, relative to market value). If you can, get measures of liquidity costs from the market including bid-ask spreads.

b. Analyst following (0.5 mark): If it is a publicly traded company, see if you can find a listing of the sell-side analysts who follow the company and what they think about the stock. Many services provide information on both metrics, with a breakdown of buy, sell and hold recommendations from analysts following a company.

5.Puma Exploration insiders have spent a meaningful amount on shares. Not only was there no selling that we can see, but they collectively bought CA$106k worth of shares. That shows some optimism about the company's future,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 Puma Exploration stock.

it seems that Puma Exploration insiders and employees own 6.2% of the company, worth about CA$255k.

PUMA SE insiders own under 1% of the company. But they may have an indirect interest through a corporate structure that we haven't picked up on,nsiders have an interest in a public company through a holding in a private company, rather than in their own capacity as an individual.

insider was happy to buy shares at above the current price of CA$0.13,becausbut they buy them for only one reason: they think the price will rise.
