About this course
If you’re like most people, when you hear the term “insider trading” you probably think of people exchanging information in a dimly lit parking garage. Or possibly an image comes to mind of a guy in an expensive suit being led out of a courtroom in handcuffs...
But while illegal insider trading cases sometimes grab headlines, in reality, the vast majority of insider trading is perfectly legal. Every day around the world, thousands of corporate insiders buy and sell shares of the companies they work for or own stakes in. Most of these trades are neither unlawful or interesting. But a few insider transactions are meaningful -- that is if you’re an investor looking for a profitable edge. Out of the many trades disclosed by corporate insiders, a few will precede sizeable moves in the underlying stock. For investors who know what to look for, following and copying the trades of insiders can be very profitable.

The blurry grey line separating illegal and legal insider trading
Securities regulators around the world restrict trading of public companies based on inside information. The reason is simple: Corporate insiders -- usually defined as chief executives, directors and large shareholders -- often have access to information about their companies that is unavailable to other investors. This nonpublic information could be used for personal profits at the expense of shareholders. Because fair markets are important to public confidence in securities markets, governments strive to ensure markets are seen as fair by investors. Nothing erodes confidence in financial markets more than when traders feel markets are rigged in favor of insiders.
