Insider trading in stocks are prohibited but not for the reason most people think. It has nothing to do with someone having an unfair advantage in an informational sense, and everything to do with fiduciary responsibility.

The CEO and executive team has fiduciary responsibility to act in the financial best interest of the shareholders. Your broker too.
