Webb pumps £100k into Autonomy
A round-up of the biggest director buys today so far.
Autonomy's non-executive chairman Robert Webb has decided its time to dip in and pick up a stake in the data search software specialist.
The shares have tumbled 23% since hitting 1,538p at the end of May, a level not seen since the tech bubble began to burst in 2000.
Webb, who only took up his post in May, spent £99,254 on 8,109 shares at 1,224p each.
