Business Ethics

It is a common and highly plausible view that engaging in insider trading is unethical. DesJardins discusses 3 arguments in favor of this view in section 7.6. Present each of these arguments as clearly and convincingly as you are able. Which (if any) of the arguments are compelling? Be sure to consider at least one possible objection to each argument. Try to rebut each objection to the best of your ability.
Some questions you may wish to answer:
Which outsiders would be 'unfairly disadvantage' by their lack of access to the information utilized in insider trading?
What makes the disadvantage an unfair one?
In what sense could the information utilized by insider trading be the property of the firm?
Can information be owned?

SECTION 7.6 READING IS ATTACHED
