Why AppFolio Stock Rocked the Market on Tuesday

One quite active stock mover on a forgettable Tuesday for the market was specialized business software developer AppFolio (NASDAQ: APPF). The company's shares saw a robust rise of almost 5% across the trading day, thanks to a pair of insider stock buys disclosed in regulatory filings. On that day, the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) also rose but by nowhere near as much, inching up to close the day 0.6% higher.The two AppFolio folks snapping up shares of the company were members of its board of directors, Timothy Bliss and Casey Donald. Of the pair, Bliss was the more assertive, as he amassed 22,000 shares in a series of buys between last Thursday and the following Monday. The per-share price he paid for each of these blocks ranged from $215.28 to $218.73.
