Insider Trading - Blogging That Might be Risky Business
Can blogs revolutionize stock trading? David Jenyns of
SystemTradingBlog.com thinks so.
Web logs are growing at an exponential pace on the internet,
with an unpredictable and dramatic rise in new users and new
services. A study by Jeffrey Henning recently predicted that
there will be a total of 53.4 million blogs by year's end, with
thousands being created weekly. But it's what these blogs
contain that interest traders.
Blogs can cover topics as serious as the war in Iraq or as
ridiculous as pictures of things placed on cats, but they are
the way people all over the world have begun communicating their
thoughts, their feelings, and their day-to-day news. And this
day-to-day news, which often includes work-place information, is
what is worrying regulators, and corporations.
And while the media digests the landmark Martha Stewart insider
trader trial, the spotlight is now turning to blogs -
potentially the new hotspot for insider trader. Market
commentators are already predicting that certain blogs may be
crossing the border between up-to-date news and insider trader,
and corporations have started looking carefully at employee
blogs.
`What regulators may be scared of is the potential for this new
media to leak stock price sensitive news to the market,` Mr.
Jenyns explained. `Just think about it, thousands of trading
blogs and hundreds of active bloggers from fortune 500 companies
making posts every day. These bloggers talk about everything
from their private lives to the inner working of the businesses.
Sometimes this news is unreleased to the market and can
potentially tip traders to buy or sell stocks.`
Insider trading is the buying or selling of stock based on
information not available to the public, often caused by a leak.
With this danger obviously increased by the availability and
popularity of blogs, regulators have begun watching the blog
community carefully. However, even in the face of such scrutiny,
some trading experts believe financial blogging can benefit the
everyday traders.
Jenyns explained, `For the first time in history, there is a
level playing field. Brokers and their top clients no longer
have the edge. In trading, the edge is all about having breaking
news. Now the latest information is available to anyone with
internet access, and people are sharing not only their news, but
their experiences with the market. With blogs like mine,
everyone can have an `edge`.
