Not from the standpoint of the investment--unless your knowledge comes from your insider status in the company making the purchase. If this is just you, no.

Daily buyings/sellings of a company's product very rarely have any effect on the company's stock price. Unless of course it is Bill Gates buying Skype.

I agree. Either the OP is rich enough to get an attorney, or, is the purchaser for a large company for it to make any difference. If the latter, it could be insider trading.

It's insider trading if someone who works for Company I tips you off that Microsoft is about to buy Company I for X billion dollars because they're ready to market something that will revolutionize the Internet. You then rush to buy stock in Company I because you've been tipped off that their stock price is going to go through the roof.

Unless you're well known, it's extremely unlikely that your investment would cause the stock in that company to rise enough to draw the SEC's attention.
