Hi guys, just a question but how does insider trading work? I looked it up and it says something about having information that is not available to the general public. So does that mean that if you're an "insider" like an accountant or whatever, are you not allowed to trade within your company?
From my understanding, you are not allowed to trade in the shares if you know critical inside information that will affect the share price. You can still trade in the shares everyday but not before a major announcement that only the top few people know about.
