<prompt> Human: Hey guys. Im invested in a mutual fund that is doing quite poorly. Its only 1700 and although I believe Im skilled in the area of finance I suck at investing. The fund is PARNX and Im hoping for suggestions on new mutual funds but, I dont know the legality. If I take suggestions from you guys here at personal finance is that insider trading?This can probably go into the legal subreddit but I was hoping for new mutual fund suggestions so I posted it here instead.  <response>: No, insider trading involves specific information from a company not publically available. Me saying invest in apple is ok. Me working at apple and finding out about a new product before everyone else and telling you is not okay.
