insider \insider\ n.
an officer of a corporation or others who have access to
private information about the corporation's operations,
especially information relating to profitability.
Note: An insider is forbidden by U. S. securities laws to
trade stock in publicly owned corporations based on the
private information. The definition of insider for the
purpose of securities law has changed in the late 29th
century to become more inclusive, whereas it initially
was applied only to officers of a corporation.
