How does insider trading benefit the investor?
Insider trading is trading done by company officials that have inside information about the status of their company. They have advance notice of new products, company sales and other information not available to the general investor until they make it public. They can buy and sell stock in their company only if their purchases are immediately made public. Insiders buying stock in their company may be a sign that good news is coming. Insiders selling may be a sign that bad news is coming or that maybe the insider is buying a new boat. Worth looking at when evaluating a stock purchase.
