Insider Trading

People trade all sorts of items but when we talk about trading in the financial world it often means buying and selling stocks bonds or currencies. The goal of trading is to make money by finding good deals and selling them at higher prices. In the stock market for example a trader might buy shares of a company when they believe the price will go up. If the price does increase the trader can sell those shares for a profit. However trading can also be risky because prices can go down and traders can lose money if they sell at a lower price than they bought. There are different types of trading. Some people are day traders which means they buy and sell stocks within the same day.
