Reply to comment by No_Breadfruit_1849 in ELI5: How can CEOs/Officers/Execs/etc of a company buy their own stock it not be insider trading? by ksquires1988
If we're nitpicking, I choose this part:
"It's not automatically insider trading for a person involved with a company to trade in its stock"
It is insider trading, just not the illegal kind. In fact the definition of insider trading is basically a person involved with a company trading in its stock. There are additional rules and scrutiny tied to insider trading and illegal insider trading is often just referred to as insider trading but, nonetheless the general concept of insider trading is not illegal.
