You're so far down the contrarian rabbit hole on this take, you're arguing the nuances of why, precisely, insider trading is illegal. It doesn't really matter why, it is, and for good reasons (agree with or don't, whatever). This ain't the hill.

It’s not a “contrarian rabbit hole”.

Whether or not insider trading should be illegal is a hotly contested topic among economists.

>It doesn't really matter why, it is, and for good reasons

Would you like to share the good reasons why it doesn’t matter?

[ajsharp]

Because if you do it you're going to jail if you get caught.

[prvit]

And you believe that the reasoning behind jailing people is not to be discussed beyond “that’s the law”?

[ajsharp]

That's obviously not what I'm saying; you're being difficult for the sake of argument. I've already stated why insider trading is and should be illegal.

[stjohnswarts]

They're literally arguing it from the selfish position of an insider trading rather than from the general societal and market benefits. I agree with you 100%

[prvit]

That’s a dishonest interpretation of my arguments and you know it.

[stjohnswarts]

I don't think so; it's completely honest. but we can agree to disagree.
