Significant officials at publicly traded companies are casually and cavalierly engaged in insider trading. Because insider trading has as one of its elements communication, it doesn't take rocket science to realize it's nice to have the communication on tape.

Preet Bharara

The way I understand the rules on trading on inside information, it's very vague.

Steven A. Cohen

I think (fantasy football) has become something that needs to be looked at in terms of regulation. Effectively, it's day trading without any regulation at all. When you have insider information, which has apparently been the case, when you have people who use that information, use big data to try and take advantage of it, there has to be some regulation. If they can't regulate themselves, then the NFL needs to look at moving away from them a little bit, and there should be some regulation.

Jeb Bush

Don’t ever average losers. Decrease your trading volume when you are trading poorly; increase your volume when you are trading well. Never trade in situations where you don’t have control. For example, I don’t risk significant amounts of money in front of key reports, since that is gambling, not trading.

Paul Tudor Jones

Insider trading is hard to prove. To be convicted, a person must have bought or sold a stock based on material information that is both unknown to the general public and likely to have had an important effect on a company's stock price.

Alex Berenson

Life can be lived at a remove. You trade in futures, and then you trade in derivatives of futures. Banks make more money trading derivatives than they do trading actual commodities.

On the one hand information is moving quick or the way in which people consume information is changing so fast. Clearly this worked for [Donald Trump], and it gives him a direct connection to a lot of the people that voted for him.

Barack Obama

I'm not an ultra-libertarian who thinks there shouldn't be insider-trading laws at all.

Gary Weiss

Insider trading by hedge funds has a long and distinguished history, dating to the days when people didn't know that there was such a thing as a hedge fund.

Gary Weiss

If companies tell us more, insider trading will be worth less.

James Surowiecki

Securities fraud generally and insider trading in particular should be eminently deterrable crimes.

Preet Bharara

If you trade with someone and they are your biggest trading partner, it is impossible you don't have trade issues.

Subrahmanyam Jaishankar

Insider trading tells everybody at precisely the wrong time that everything is rigged, and only people who have a billion dollars and have access to and are best friends with people who are on boards of directors of major companies - they're the only ones who can make a true buck.

Preet Bharara

Tiptoeing on a tightrope past insider trading laws may be deft and clever, but it doesn't make it right.
