With 3 million miles of mainline and other pipelines that link natural gas production areas and storage facilities with consumers, there is no shortage of the need to monitor, maintain and protect the various components that make up this complex network of energy transmission.

Herein lies one of the sweet spots for Acorn Energy Inc (OOTC:ACFN), a company we cover in our research and in which we added the stock to one of our Model Portfolios  back on December 10, 2020 after the company’s CEO, Jan Loeb, purchased a lot of stock on December 8, 2019. This in fact was the first time we noticed the company since we sat down with management at an LD Micro Conference a few years ago, and were actually able to schedule and hold a Fireside Chat with Mr. Loeb the prior day! It should be noted that he has been systematically buying shares for the past 3 years, with the most notable transaction occurring in 2019, showing investors his continued and unwavering confidence in the company.
