Imagine for a moment that equity-insider-dealing-related Suspicious Transactions and Orders (STORs) accounted for, say, 70% of all STORs reported to UK regulators. It’s a useful number because it’s the real one.
There are a couple of conclusions you could draw from it. One would be that equity-related-insider-dealing happens a lot more than equity-related-market-manipulation, which is another and perhaps even more exciting kind of STOR.
Another would be that there are many, many more wrong ’uns in the equity market than there are in fixed income, currencies and commodities (FICC), whose STOR count is a tiny fraction of the total.
