    Please pardon my ignorance because I really don't know much about the subject.

    Hypothetically speaking, if someone were to find out that one company is buying another one, what is the best way to caitalize on that information? Buy stock in the company buying or the company being taken over?

    What if the company buying is a private person? Is there a way to captialize on that situation?

    Any info would be aprreciated.

    Amature inside traders almost always get caught. Trading on information not generally available will capture the attention of the SEC. You would however make your biggest bang for your buck selling short or on a margin.

    You are from Cherry Hill?

    There are enough crooks there to begin with. Don't do it. Trade honestly. Live smarter.

    short the TVIX after todays run up, cover it tomorrow/ thursday. buy white powder with that money, and break down into ozs. Become a homo, workout, and buy a home to flip with that money, while having a show on Bravo, Profit millions. Invest that in an engament ring, Then Marry Kim kardashian for 70 days, and be worth 50 milli before the mayan caldendar says the world ends. easier than any insider trading information you will ever get.

    I'm sure some of these insider tips turn out well but i'm always skeptical. If you think the information is reliable, buy some shares in the company rumored to be acquired but i wouldn't risk too much. If you want to gamble, go to a casino.
