insider trading

[tim_s]

i'm considering buying shares in listed company who is launching a new product which uses services provided by the company i work for. i don't know any dates but i know that after an announcement about the service the share price will jump so if i buy shares now and sell after the announcement will this be considered insider trading?

not really no. i only know as much as the analysts do (they've forecasted the jump in price).

hmmm, maybe i'll give it a miss and pass the tip on to someone else!

well i've had a look at what i know and it's all in the public domain so i might invest / might not.
