Corporate insiders should, in theory, be able to better time share purchases and sales in their companies. After all, they have inside information, which is why their trades are regulated and published. Lots of research has gone into the analysis of insider trades and while some studies show outperformance of insiders, other studies do not. But one question that has not been investigated is if insiders get better at their trades over time.
On insiders' buying is there an emotional angle in that employees may "feel" it is the right thing to do -- back you own horse, lead from the front etc -- I get the selling part.

Insiders sell for all types of reasons but usually only buy because of one, they think the stock is going up
