So What Is Insider Trading? -- DealBook Column by Andrew Ross Sorkin - NYTimes.com:
"Late last month, the Securities and Exchange Commission brought an unusual and colorful insider-trading case: It accused two employees who worked in the rail yard of Florida East Coast Industries and their relatives of making more than $1 million by trading on inside information about the takeover of the company.
How did these employees — a mechanical engineer and a trainman — know their company was on the block?
Well, they were very observant.
They noticed “there were an unusual number of daytime tours” of the rail yard, the S.E.C. said in its complaint, with “people dressed in business attire.”
