Answer:
The statement is: False.
Explanation:
While often associated with illegal activity, insider trading encompasses both illegal and legal trading of securities and is monitored by the <em>Securities and Exchange Commission </em>(SEC). Illegal insider trading occurs when a person uses material, non-public information to decide between buying or selling a security.
Legal insider trading takes place when corporate insiders, officers, directors, and employees trade securities issued by their own company. When a corporate insider buys or sells his company's securities, this trading activity must be reported to the SEC, which then discloses this information to the public.
