Don't Trade On Insider Info
from the a-public-service-announcement dept
Apparently, the talk of the high level executive set these days is what you should do if you're given insider information about a stock. The proper answer is (of course) do nothing. If you act on insider info and are caught, you could be in a lot of trouble. As the SEC has been filing some high profile cases lately (the ImClone case being the biggest one these days), the Washington Post is reminding people that it's not just the person who gives the info who gets in trouble.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
