Well, putting the obstruction of justice charges aside, should insider trading really be considered a crime? If Martha was tipped by a broker with information that the executives were rapidly selling stock, what should she have done in such a situation? Should she have just held on to her stocks, knowing full well that they would soon plummet?

EDIT: By the way, it bothers me that people on the far left have an almost knee-jerk hatred of everyone in the corporate world. Come to think of it, they seem to have a knee-jerk hatred of the wealthy in general.
