Yeah. This is a philosophical point that the law contemplates. Your option’s position is a theoretical position against the shareholders. I’m not convinced us insider trading laws are particularly logical or valuable (like most economists I think we shouldn’t have them) but you can usually back out the SEC position by figuring out how a shareholder was harmed.

Isn't that basically just scamming? I can tell you I have a box full of gold, sell it to you, and then it's not. You think this is ok?
