The insider tip

“My cousin works there. Results will be huge. Don't tell anyone.”

What it looks like (invented example)

Insider news: Kaveri Power results will double profit. Buy before Monday, don't share.

How it works

  1. 1

    A tip claims non-public information.

  2. 2

    Secrecy and a deadline create urgency.

  3. 3

    Even if true, trading on it is illegal; usually it's invented.
