Is there such a thing as insider trading for a company? Let's say for example that getting a contract with Amazon is likely to increase the stock value of company X. If a employee from X told me they were nearing/secured a deal with Amazon and I bought the stock before a public announcement from X I am guilty of insider trading no? Is bundling a sell of stock like this not similar?

Everything is insider trading.

Everything is Securities Fraud.
