Insider trading involves the illegal practice of trading stocks or other securities based on non-public, material information about a company. In trading, insider trading undermines market fairness, as it allows those with privileged access to company information to profit at the expense of other investors. Regulatory bodies, such as the SEC, monitor and enforce laws to prevent insider trading. Traders must stay aware of legal risks and ensure their trading activities are based on publicly available information.
