>>About inside information, it's only illegal to profit from it if you have a fiduciary duty to the shareholder<< With all respect, that is inaccurate.

"About inside information, it's only illegal to profit from it if you have a fiduciary duty to the shareholder." Actually, that's not true. Inside information is inside information. If you get it -- however you get it -- even if you have no fiduciary relationship to the shareholders whatsoever, the SEC will come after you. And if they can prove their case... FWIW, I use to work for the SEC.
