What to do when you have access to inside news?

You can share it with a big brokerage since they do it all the time.

Then if you get caught, have them pay your part of the fine and, MOST IMPORTANTLY, ADMIT NO WRONGDOING. This leaves you free to make up for the fine in the next one when you don't get caught! :D
 
Quote from qll:

I always heared the stories of inside trading. Even dreamed what if I knew this this this before everybody knows that that that. Well this really happens now.

It happens that I know the earnings of a large public traded company one week before they are released to the public. I checked the recent market reaction of recent earning release. The stock price is up or down 5%-15%. Its average daily trading volume tells me if I can trade $20 million one day before the earninng release, the market won't feel a thing. So that is $2 million profit per Q, or $8 million per year.

What should I do now?
A shut up and borrow as much money as I can to trade the stock
B trade options for max gain
C find somebody who has $20 million and share the profit
D don't use it, because it is illegal, although nobody will ever know because I have nothing related to this public company.

Very confused now. Please let me know what you will do and what I should do now.




E PM me the inside info
 
Go watch that movie with charlie sheen "Good Advice", and you will get a pretty good idea what golf course tips are. Ego stroking, for execs.
 
Ok...serious question now....say if by some absurd chance qll did manage to overhear some ceo or bigwig in some large company talking about earings to someone esle (not qll).......if he were to trade the stock on this info this would no longer be insider trading as i understand it......as he overheard it in a public setting where anyone within earshot could have overheard. Am i wrong about this?
