WHAT IS "INSIDER TRADING"


This query is : Resolved 

03 April 2009 HI EVERYONE

RECENTLLY I WAS GOING THROUGH ECONOMICS TIMES AND I CAME ACROSS WORD "INSIDER TRADING"

PLEASE EXPLAIN ME ?

03 April 2009 The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 1992, say, "insider" is any person who, is or was connected with the company, and who is reasonably expected to have access to unpublished price-sensitive information about the stock of that particular company, or who has access to such unpublished price sensitive information.

Information that could be price sensitive includes periodical financial results of a company, intended declaration of dividend, issue or buyback of securities, any major expansion plans or execution of new projects, amalgamation, merger, takeovers, disposal of the whole or substantial part of the undertaking and any other significant changes in policies, plans or operations of the company.

However, insider trading isn't always illegal. Trading by a company insider in its shares is not violation per se and is legal. What is illegal is the trading by an insider on the basis of unpublished price-sensitive information.

Insider trading violations may also include 'tipping' such information and the person using it.
