I am not a trader, but I have anecdotally come across many instances where minutes or hours before a company releases big stock-moving news, the stock price creeps up or down in the direction that the news will eventually move the stock. It seems like insider trading is rampant.
- kasey_junk 7y agoThat’s not insider trading, thats market sentiment being correct. Thats an expected and desired outcome.

In the instances I have seen, the news that came out was not expected to come out at the time it did. It was not a scheduled quarterly report or public filing: these were surprise announcements. The market moving up or down before-hand seemed like pretty obvious proof of insider trading.
