What is Market Abuse?
May 20, 2012 at 12:09 pm #97724What’s the context? It could very well be the purchase of shares in a company after a severe fall whilst knowing ( firmly believing ) that the shares will recover.
If that fits into your context, fine. If not, give me the context
May 20, 2012 at 12:12 pm #97725This is an extract from the wikipedia definition of “market abuse”
Market abuse may arise in circumstances where financial investors have been unreasonably disadvantaged, directly or indirectly, by others who:[1]
* have used information which is not publicly available (insider dealing)
* have distorted the price-setting mechanism of financial instruments
* have disseminated false or misleading information.Market Abuse is split into two different aspects (Under EU definitions): Insider Dealing: Where a person who has information not available to other investors (eg a Director with knowledge of a takeover bid) makes use of that information for personal gain. Market Manipulation: Where a person knowingly gives out false or misleading information (For instance about a company’s financial circumstances) in order to influence the price of a share for personal gain
There is more! Why not look it up?
