Stock Market Trading/Corporate Finance
Insider trading
Insider trading involves the trading of public company's stock or other securities such as stock options or bonds with people who can get access to non-public information regarding that company. However, there are some countries where insider trading based on insider information is considered illegal. Research shows that purchase portfolio normally earns abnormal returns for over 50 points every month. A quarter of these abnormal returns accumulate within the first five days after the first transaction while a half accumulates in the first month. The sale portfolio normally earns abnormal returns. In addition, studies show that abnormal returns in small firms do not differ significantly from those that are in large firms. At the same time, top executives do not earn higher abnormal returns compared to other insiders. Therefore we can say that studies on insider trading generally show that insiders make positive abnormal trading profits. These studies also show that outsiders can earn profits through mimicking the trade of these insiders after there...
In this form of market efficiency share prices normally adjust to the new information that is publicly available very rapidly and is usually not biased in such a way that there are no excess returns that can be earned through trading on that information. This market efficiency also implies that neither technical analysis nor fundamental analysis techniques will be able to produce excess returns reliably. However, there is still some evidence of pre-event day trading that is observed in research. Insiders and investors that are acting on information before announcement are shown to earn above normal profits. Evidence shows that insiders do not sell high, outsiders buy early, and low and hence, they are able to realize profits from this expectation.

(Vital Information for Stock Market Investors! What Every Investor Needs To Know) Regarding increases in the stock market, one has seen in the past that rises take place over a long-term, but the terms are very long.

Stock Price Trading Value and Stock Price relationship between trading volume and price In their 2005 article, Gunduz and Hatemi-J have explored the relationship between stock price and volume by using information from the major stock markets of Central and Eastern Europe. They have made use of the Toda-Yamamoto (1995) procedure to determine Granger causality among the variables. The findings of their study provide insight into the different ways stock price and volume
Since institutional investors typically hedge their risks by using asset liability management and derivatives instruments against market risk, it is estimated that institutional investors in a representative stock market such as the London Stock Exchange lost only 10% of the value of their assets in the 1987 crash. In the absence of such hedging the effect of the crash and the resultant liquidity crunch would have been far greater.
An upside gain can also be handled in that same manner, with a sell order placed above the trading price. This guarantees that the stock will automatically be sold as soon as it hits that price (if there is a buyer). Another method of purchasing or selling shares that some investors use is called the option method. This method is used to obtain the right to purchase or sell shares
