 Insider trading - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Insider trading can make markets more efficient by increasing the amount of information that is known about the company, and can motivate outsiders such as analysts to increase their knowledge about the company.
Illegal insider trading in the US requires the participation (perhaps indirectly) of a corporate insider or other person who is violating his fiduciary duty to corporate shareholders by trading on or secretly relaying the corporation's information.
Since insiders are required to report their trades, others often track these traders, and there is a school of investing which follows the lead of insiders.

Consequently, insider trading to which the shareholders consent is not unethical.
