Insiders' Activity and Inside Information: A Multivariate Analysis
Abstract
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the New York Stock Exchange are concerned with the full disclosure of information insiders normally would be expected to possess about their company, including any facts that would materially affect the market's valuation of the firm's worth if they were publicly known. At present, the regulatory agencies have limited their activities to the collection and dissemination of historical information and facts. The motives of insiders, based in large part, presumably, on their knowledge regarding future operating results are hidden from the public eye. The SEC in compiling the Official Summary of Stock Transactions does not require insider to reveal his motivation for trading.
