The investor on the other side a trade would make the decision to buy regardless of whether or not the other person has inside info.

Investor A: has inside information that Facebook is about to get destroyed. SELLS.

Investor B: Has no idea who Investor A is, but likes Facebook as a long term investment. Logs into Fidelity and clicks BUY button.

Investor B's decision is not dependent on whether Investor A has inside information or not. They would have made the losing trade no matter what information Investor A has.



That's not how the market works.

Would really suck if I had a ton of stock in my company and knew it was about to tank for reasons I had nothing to do with and I can't sell it. That would fricking blow.
Yep, that's what I'm talking about with my OP.
