Under the Japan Securities Dealers Association’s (JSDA) guidelines, analysts at brokerages will be banned from gathering information that could reveal earnings results. Brokerages will also have to vet data gathered by analysts and ensure undisclosed material information isn’t passed to clients.

What a genteel article!

Call a spade a spade-'insider trading'

And then companies only formally reveal patchy data to their shareholders!

What a racket!!!!

Japan has always been very light on insider trading, both in terms of enforcement and penalties. I doubt if this is something that will ever really change.

Belatedly taking action which will improve things. A long period of paralysis before the new rules come in, though. Everybody anxious not to break any unwritten rules before they are written.
