=== COMMENTS SUMMARY ===
Commenters mostly debate the legality of insider trading, with some jokingly asking the author to reveal the company (“not if you tell me which company it is”) and noting that if it’s posted publicly it becomes public knowledge. Others caution that using any material non-public information, even overheard in public, technically counts as insider trading, though enforcement is unlikely. No ticker or trade thesis is provided.
