Exploring Insider Trading Ethics

<p>Insider trading refers to the trading of a public company's stock by insiders who may have access to non-public information about the company. The term of insider trading can sometimes be confusing because many people associate it with illegal conduct only. In fact insider trading  </p><p>can either be legal or illegal depending on the nature of the non-public information. Generally speaking trading by corporate insiders (such as managers directors and beneficial owners) is legal in most countries as long as it is not based on material non-public information. However if corporate insiders or any other investors (known as de-facto insiders)trade stocks based on material inside information their trading will be considered illegal</p><p><br></p>
