Never quite figured out how you can be in trouble for ‘insider trading’ when you weren’t ‘inside.’

Example, you overhear two guys talking in an elevator about a big stock split next week, and you buy a lot of that stock.

Is that insider trading?

Your stock broker recommends a stock and you buy or sell a lot of that stock.

Is that insider trading? This one is what started Martha Stewart’s problems.

A company guy tells another guy, who tells another guy, who tells another guy, who tells you.

Is that insider training?

So?

He’s a pro sports guy. He makes his money off of entertainment.

Who cares if he gets caught breaking the law. He pays a fine or goes to jail.

HE DOESN’T MAKE ANYTHING!

No problem when Congress members do this every day, though.
