When examining insider buys and sells, is the dollar figure the most important?

How about a political answer, all of the above. I don't think you can give absolute rankings, but dollar amounts that are significant to the individual (and not from exercising options, although they do have some weight) are what I look for. However, some of those are pre-announced, like where they are planning a large sale to buy some toy for themselves. Multiple insiders is a real strong signal. Token buys basically are useful to show the opposite is not likely, but not the positive for whatever direction the insider did.
