Anytime insiders buy their own stock, it normally means the shares are undervalued and, who would know better than a director or board member. When $124.7 thousand was invested by Stephen C. Beasley, Director at BPZ Resources, Inc. (NYSE: BPZ), investors took notice. BPZ Energy makes up 1.20% of the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (AMEX: XOP) and is set to start the 2nd half of 2012 at $2.53 after gaining 8.12% on volume of 1,264,654 shares on Friday.

Bottom Line: NYSE penny stocks rarely will ever give you the “pop” you get on the OTC. However, when a penny stock like BPZ is undervalued and insideres are dropping $100k on the shares, investors who take too long to realize will miss the boat. BPZ should be an instant add for anyone who can lock up cash for a month plus. The stock has had 3 rallies in 2012 and this is surely #4.
