Insider Trading involves trading of stocks and securities by a group or individuals who might have access to non-publicly available information which could affect the price of the company. There are two versions to Insider Trading:

  • The legal version of Insider trading involves corporate insiders (owners, directors or employees) buying or selling the company stocks. They are obligated to report such trades to the SEC as stated in the SEC forms 3,4 and 5[1].
  • Illegal Insider trading involves misappropriation of the non-public information by anyone. This could involve a breach of fiduciary responsibility or confidence while holding on to sensitive data about the company. It also encompasses "tips" and "hints" from a corporate insider to a friend, who now acts on this information
