IIRC there are two big things the SEC looks for regarding Insider Trading: Insiders fraudulently presenting wrong information about the company to manipulate share price; and Insiders who know something about the company that's about to be announced that will affect share price, and sell or buy shares accordingly, prior to the announcement I would not be surprised if there is a lot of 1 going on, but it's hard to prove something was fraud as opposed to stupidity

SECURITIES LITIGATION WATCH
Updates and commentary on securities law issues from Bruce Carton at Institutional
Shareholder Services, Inc.
10:47 AM | August 11, 2006 Sharesleuth.com Exposes Achilles' Heel of Insider Trading Laws The Mark Cuban-backed, discussed in detail, has found the previously unexploited Achilles' Heel of the insider trading laws and fired an arrow deep into it
The result is that for the first time, a legal form of what most people would consider "insider trading" exists and can be replicated by anyone with (a) the resources to hire a skilled investigative journalist, (b) the ability to generate a readership on the Internet
For those who believe that there is a flat prohibition on insider trading based on material, nonpublic information, the fact that such a business model could be legal may be surprising
As I have, however, there is no such prohibition: The root of the problem with the "insider trading laws" is that there really aren't any
The offense of insider trading stems from Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, a vague statute that prohibits the employment of "any manipulative or deceptive device" in connection with the purchase or sale of securities
Although insider trading is sometimes loosely defined as any trading based on "material, nonpublic information, " the legal definition flowing from case law is much more complicated and relies heavily on concepts such as fiduciary duty and the "familial duty of trust and confidence." For instance, in the 1980s, football coach Barry Switzer attracted the attention of the SEC when, after overhearing a corporate executive discuss the imminent "liquidation" of a public company merger, he profitably traded on that information in advance of the liquidation
