Insider trading or insider dealing is an
illegal use of privileged information in
dealing on a stock exchange, eg: when a
company takeover bid is imminent. Insider
trading is in theory detected by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in
the USA, and by the Securities and Investment
Board (SIB) in the UK. Neither agency,
however, has any legal powers other than
public disclosure and they do not bring
prosecutions themselves.
