insider trading has to be the easiest damn thing in the world. discreetly tell someone you know in person a piece of insider knowledge, and let them profit off it, then reimburse you some how. i find it insane people think this isn't happening virtually 100% of the time.

This seems like a pretty naive viewpoint. Don't you think the SEC would have thought about that? This kind of thing seems to me like it would be very easy to detect and penalize.
