Main Article Content

Abstract

Unlawful speculation within the securities market constitutes a fundamental breach of disclosure and transparency principles. Such practices, often orchestrated by individuals with substantial expertise in securities market intricacies, are designed to accrue personal gains while detrimentally affecting other investors.


These acts of unlawful speculation are varied; however, legislative bodies have endeavored to shield the market from these detrimental behaviors with a robust legal framework, thus preserving the integrity of the securities market and protecting its investors.
