Yes. The Chairman of the Board or CEO is about as "inside" as you can get since he has the power to control, either directly of indirectly, most all of the company functions.

When someone uses confidential information to gain from the purchase or sale of stocks?

Does insider trading hurt the company as a hole?

Yes, because the people who are doing it get thrown in jail and can't work there anymore. Insider trading really hurts the overall economy. - - - - - Insider trading more hurts the people OUTSIDE the company than it does inside. I'll give a fairly simple example: Let us say Alpha Drug Company decides to launch a hostile tender offer for Bravo Drug Company. Bravo Drug is currently trading at $20 per share. The day before they announce the offer, Alpha's board of directors each buy $1 million worth of Bravo stock. The day after the offer is announced, Bravo's stock goes to $40, and the Alpha directors dump it. They have enriched themselves at the expense of the people who bought the stock from them. Alpha and Bravo, OTOH, haven't been affected one bit.
