Theories for Legalizing Insider Trading II
As can be remembered, Manne's second argument for legalizing insider trading asserts that insider trading can be beneficial to both the investor and the insider. If the insider is allowed to trade the company's stocks using private information, the insider himself would profit if the prices of the company's stocks would increase thereby the insider would have more incentive in doing a good job because as the company prospers the insider also prospers. However,....
Tax Implications of Non-qualified Stock Options
If the United States Internal Revenue Code provides for tax benefits for employee stock options (ESOs) that follow the Internal Revenue Code's requirements, then what happens to those ESOs that do not follow the Internal Revenue Code's requirements and do not fall into either incentive stock options (ISOs) or employee purchase plans (ESPPs)? Are they non-existent? If they do exist then how are they taxed and how different are they from ESPPs and ISOs in terms....
Tax Implications of Employee Stock Purchase Plans
The Employee Stock Purchase Plans (ESPP), also known as Section 423 plans, is a kind of employee stock option (ESO) that obtains a favorable tax treatment from the government. Any ESO can be an ESPP provided that the ESO meets the restrictions and requirements set forth by Section 423 of the United States Internal Revenue Code. Like any other stock option, the ESPP gives the holder of the option, in this case the employee, the right to buy shares of the....

Understanding the United States stock market can be tricky, even frustrating at times.

To help you understand a little more of the stock market, I have compiled a few of the basic jargon used in the stock market.

The Key Players
Legal Basis of Insider Trading I
The growing focus of both the government, the academic community and the media on insider trading have renewed the public's eye on insider trading and the debates and issues that go along with it. Insider trading incidents have been on the rise since the 1960's and various amendments and additions to the current law have been added to answer for the demands of insider trading. The face of the concept ‘insider trading' is continuously evolving, making actions....
Employee Stock Purchase Plans
Offering employee stock options is the prevailing trend in the corporate world today with over 90% of Fortune 1000 corporations giving their employees stock options. There are three kinds of employee stock options: the Incentive Stock Option (ISO), the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) and the Non-qualified Stock Option (NQSO). For purposes of this discussion, I will introduce you to the concept of ESPP and the requirements that make an employee stock option....
Effects of Insider Trading to the Aggregate Economy III
On the other side of the insider trading debate are those scholars and economists that advocate for the continued prohibition and banning  of insider trading. In previous articles I have discussed the theories that are proposed by this school of thought. In this article I will tackle the results of their economic models and their own opinion on how the prohibition of insider trading would affect the aggregate economy. Like in the previous economic....
Effects of Insider Trading to the Aggregate Economy II
Aside from the economic model of Manove that concludes that legalized insider trading would decrease the liquidity of the stock but increase the capital cost of the corporation and at the same time increase the informativesness of the stock price, other economists in their own models partially concurred to Manove's findings. According to the economic models prepared by Shin in 1996, Dye in 1984, Leland in 1992, Hu and Noe in 1997, among others, agree that the....
Effects of Insider Trading to the Aggregate Economy I
In order to supposedly answer, or at least shed light, in the raging debate of legalizing or prohibiting insider trading, economists formulated economic models to see how insider trading positively or negatively affects the two sides of the economy. The two sides of the economy that the economists are focusing on are the aggregate economy and the effects to individual economic players. As I have said before, it is impossible for any one study, or even group of....
Economic Models and Insider Trading
One cannot truly understand the effect of insider trading if one does not analyze the effect of insider trading to both the big picture and to individual situations. It is very difficult to measure the effect of insider trading without putting on parameters to use in economic models that can measure the effect of insider trading to both the aggregate and the individual. In order to make conclusions and findings about insider trading and its effects, economists....
