Question

Government, corporate directors, and stock traders. having internet access and being on phones and sharing stuff unethical?

Answer 1

YES, if corporate directors are involved with sharing company related stuff which is private sensitive information and which is not been into the public domain, then sharing of these informations over the internet is categorised under insider trading.

When the corporate directors and stock traders and government and other stakeholders of the organisations are conducting normal meetings which are not having any kind of private sensitive information then, it is not an ethical because it is just Information sharing which is not influencing the shareholders in any way to purchase shares and hence it can be said that in this case, it will not be categorised under insider trading.
