It's perfectly legal as long as you don't buy or sell the stock based on info that is not available to the general public. For example, if you knew that the company was going to buy another company that would increase the share value, so you bought a bunch of stock right before the public announcement, THAT would be insider trading.
Most employees who have access to that type of inside info are blocked from trading during certain periods - the CEO, CFO, folks like that. Most rank-and-file employees don't have to worry much about insider trading.
Happy buying. :) |

Many companies actually encourage this. They may even help you with discounts or commission waivers. The only problem is if you have access to non-public information. Talk to your HR department. |

Insider trading is if you are aware of something that can change the value of the companies stock and you take advantage of that. If you don't have any "inside knowledge" of things that can effect the companies stock.. then buy away. |

Insider trading only applies if you have special knowledge about a trade (for example, if your company is making a major announcement tomorrow that you know will affect the stock price) and you place a trade based on that information.
You are at liberty to buy as much stock in the company that employs you as you want, but you can't make use of knowledge others don't have. |

It depends on if you're privy on insider information. In my company, since I'm not upper level management and know very little of total overall operations, I'm allowed to trade stocks on non-blackout days.
If you're upper management, there is a way to still trade stocks. You basically have to fill out a bunch of forms and pre-plan the sale ahead of time. So you can't really day trade, but can buy and sell stocks with advanced notice. |

As others have said insider trading is only if you have information that is not available to the public. This rule is used to try and "police" trading and make it fair for everyone.
The people that tend to have the insider information are closely watched and have to get special approval to buy. |

It depends.
If you work at McDonald's as the CEO then it will be considered insider trading.
If you work at McDonald's moping the floors then it is legal.
If you don't wear a suit imported from Europe to work then you don't have to worry about insider trading. |
