Insider Trading: In Search of Definitional Clarification

Abstract

This abstract was created post-production by the JFI Editorial Board.

Like so many human activities, insider trading can be carried out in a legal manner as well as in an illegal way. The current study has attempted to show both ways of insider trading. Further, the study has clearly established that there are indeed respectable journalists who regularly--by error--give the term a strictly criminal meaning. May we all learn to engage in this activity in a perfectly legal manner. May we also encourage appropriate officials to punish and eliminate those who use the technique in an illegal manner.
