Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't 'insider trading' refer only to when a individual or corporation profits from shares on the stock market (or other securities) by either buying or selling shares with 'insider' knowledge that a particular company event (a product release or annual forecast) will effect the share price?
I didn't think it related to divulging product info to the public. (ie telling people that a new product is going to be release before the company makes any statements). That would just be disclosing company secrets... not profiting from the company's share price. I think insider trading only refers to when you buy or sell shares with 'inside knowledge' hence 'insider trading'.
