What is Insider trading?
'''Insider trading''' means the trading of public [[company|companies]]' [[stock]]s and other [[asset]]s on [[stock market]]s using [[secrecy|secret]] [[information]]. This is done by getting people who have [[confidential]] or non-public facts about how much a stock is really [[wikt:worth|worth]] to tell traders so they can buy or sell to make profit and manipulate that particular stock.<ref>{{cite web|title=The World Price of Insiders' Trading|publisher=The World Finance Journal|url=https://faculty.fuqua.duke.edu/~charvey/Teaching/BA453_2005/BD_The_world.pdf|accessdate=January 1, 2014}}</ref> A stock could be worth more or less than the public knows, depending on how well a company is doing in making money, new innovations, sales and demand. In many countries, insider trading with secret information is against the [[law]]. Some [[economist]]s think insider trading should be allowed.<ref>{{cite web|title=Insider Tradings|publisher=Library of Economics and Liberty|url=http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/InsiderTrading.html|accessdate=January 1, 2014}}</ref> ==References== <references/> {{Conflict of interest}} [[Category:Organized crime]] {{stub}} [[Category:Property crimes]] [[Category:Financial crimes]]
