Tell the entire market the information you have and let them do with it as they will, versus telling your friends first and letting everyone else go to hell.

As long as those friends don't misuse the information (spreading it to blackhats), what's the difference? If it's "hell" for everyone else on day N, it would be "hell" for everyone on day 0.
