Default Re: Is This Insider Trading?

1. This is clearly insider trading. I'm in R & D and we have to be very careful about this. You'd also be in trouble if you told anyone else to short a competitor's stock.

2. Close, but probably yes. If you make any effort to overhear the conversation, such as bending in to listen, it becomes more clearly insider trading, but who's gonna prosecute you?

3. I don't think so.
