How to spot an undervalued gem in stock market? This is a very interesting question. One famous example is VS industry berhad. Look at the annoucement made by VS starting from 18 July 2014, its directors keep buying back VS shares through ESOS and open market.
What is this action of acquisition of shares telling us? I believe this is a very important signal, either company share buyback or director acquisition of shares, telling us that the shares are largely undervalued! If you calculate the growth rate of the price of VS until today, I'm sure you will convince that this is true.
Let's review some of the winners:

If I was to put position on every shares buy back it will be too many
Obviously it is not a good decision

PlsGiveBonus: Of course you can't split your money into all of them, but focus perhaps 2 or 3 only...

That's true. I like your strategy. But it's not so good of a predictor when it comes to company share buy backs though.

I think you are forcing yourself to find a cause (director buying shares) to explain an effect (stocks undervalued).
I will give you one to disprove your theory. NiHsin buy back 15 million of their own shares over the past 10 years, too bad the share price is still the same since 10 years ago.
Director buyback is just a positive sign, nothing more nothing less.

Yeo: Of course this strategy is not 100% success proof, it is just one of the ways to minimize risks.

Again it depends how you define risk, if a director keep buying shares and he plans to reap his reward 20 years later. On the other hand your own time frame is to make money in a year, your risk is 20x larger than his. He can sustain 19 years of losing money and make money on the 20th year but you can't

I agree with Spaghetti. I have been monitoring Sam for sometime. Watch the push. Once it starts, usually gap up 1.00. 8.00 by CNY.

Normally director buy shares and keep it for long term. If you are not going to hold for a period of time, it's better not to follow.
