The officers and directors of a company tend to have a unique insider's view of the business, and presumably the only reason an insider would choose to take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock in the open market, is that they expect to make money — maybe they find the stock very undervalued, or maybe they see exciting progress within the company, or maybe both. So when stocks turn up that see insider buying, and are also top ranked, investors are wise to take notice. One such company is Western Union Co (Symbol: WU), which saw buying by President Europe, Africa, MEPA Giovanni Angelini. Back on November 10, Angelini invested $89,540.00 into 10,000 shares of WU, for a cost per share of $8.95. In trading on Wednesday, shares were changing hands as low as $9.59 per share, which is 7.0% above Angelini's purchase price.
Western Union Co shares are currently trading +1.30% on the day. The chart below shows the one year performance of WU shares, versus its 200 day moving average: Looking at the chart above, WU's low point in its 52 week range is $7.85 per share, with $11.945 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $9.70.

The report also cited the strong quarterly dividend history at Western Union Co, and favorable long-term multi-year growth rates in key fundamental data points.

That's what we aim to find using our proprietary DividendRank formula, which ranks the coverage universe based upon our various criteria for both profitability and valuation, to generate a list of the top most 'interesting' stocks, meant for investors as a source of ideas that merit further research.''
