Not surprising at all. Anything below $20 for CWB is a steal. Senior executives, especially Murphy, are restricted as to timing when they can make their purchases.
I purchased my 250 or so shares at ~$17.90, in late March.
Cheers,

How did you base your "steal price" for CWB to be anything below $20? Why did you not pick one of the big banks (rather than CWB) whose prices also took a hit in March but have now climbed up somewhat and have higher rating than CWB.
On one hand I think banks could suffer in the short term from loan write-offs but perhaps the bottom line may be not so bad since they will make considerable profits just handling the gigantic money inflow/outflow coming in from governments and out to clients.
