Abstract

Insider trading regulation produces excess speculation and stimulates deceptive stock exchange trading – the very things that it is supposed to eliminate. In Sweden, this was part of a deliberate political agenda to make financial markets livelier and more exciting, almost as if they were games. Now, the so-called 'outsiders' (the public) are in fact confined inside the game, while the 'insiders' (the market professionals) remain outside the game controlling the action.
