Insider Trading

Most of us would agree that Corporate Executive will have first hand news on the life or death of their company where Corporate Decisions are made, brief and executed by the Top Management. As such, whether the company is in the green or red in their P/L books are often disclosed as paycut, retrenchments or bonuses. Needless to say that Corporate Executives are always in the know and will therefore buy or sell their shares. In general, it is the corporate companies who are the Big Fish players to manipulate the stock market. Big fish eat small fish.
If you are the Corporate Executive of Apple or Microsoft, would you also do the same by buying or selling as an Insider Trader? I remembered when I first joined banking industry, i have to declare all the shares I have by filing in the form. When I worked for Investment Companies, I have to sign a form on secretacy as Insider Trading rules and regulations as I handle fund market information in the Fact Sheet. Hence I am aware that Insider Trading can let you earn big bucks but dont get caught because of the Security Acts of Insider Trading.
Whether Insider Trading or not, let us be conservative in our investing and practice due diligence because we are exchanging our precious time and life for our hard-earned money.

Happy Investing :)
