Abstract

The public is justifiably confused. Most who know the story believe that Stewart sold her ImClone shares while in possession of nonpublic information that had the potential to move the market in ImClone shares. This type of unfairness in stock trading commonly is thought to constitute insider trading; those who have an inside track to market-sensitive information should not be able to trade on it.
