Best Answer

Insiders are employees who are considered to have confidential information that the general public does not have. This information could impact the stock price if publicly known. A classic example would be a pending merger. The SEC states that an employee may not trade stock if they posses confidential information. So for an insider to trade stock one of two things must happen.

1) They create a 10b5-1 trading plan. This plan will tell a broker to buy or sell stock based on preset dates or conditions. The insider once the plan is established cannot change it. Typically a new plan is established yearly. This means that even if the insider gains information that could impact the stock price, the plan prevents them from acting on it.

2) The second way an insider can trade stock is during an open trading period. During certain periods, typically after an earnings release, the company can declare an open trading period and all employees are allowed to trade stock. The limitation again is that if you have confidential information, you are still prevented from trading.
