insider trading--and a bounty for rats!

We all hear, on occasion, about insider trading, but many of us are still a little hazy as to the meaning of the term. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commision has this helpful page to define exactly what "insider trading" refers to. Most interesting is the discussion of the SEC's "bounty" policy: If you know that someone's engaging in insider trading, you can turn them in for cash from the government! All set to rat on your friends who are playing fast and loose with the law? Visit this page first to get the lowdown on the procedure.
