An "employee" is not necessarily an 'insider." An insider is a "control Person" or a person owning more that 5% of outstanding shares. A secretary buying 1000 shares is not an insider transaction. On the other hand, if she bought 100000 shares because she knew that BNE was about to buyout TECO at $1.00 per share, she would be trading on "insider" information.
