This seems like a witch hunt for what is a conflict of interest.
Either you have certain roles, i.e. members of congress, that can't hold shares at all. Or you allow them to trade and then only go after very specific insider trades. I.e. at a business to business level.
But going after an individual for "knowing" how the entire economy will move is a stretch imo.
