The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act (Pub.L. 112–105 (text) (pdf), S. 2038, 126 Stat. 291, enacted April 4, 2012) is an Act of Congress designed to combat insider trading. It was signed into law by President Barack Obama on April 4, 2012. The law prohibits the use of non-public information for private profit, including insider trading by members of Congress and other government employees. It confirms changes to the Commodity Exchange Act, specifies reporting intervals for financial transactions.

Don't hold your breath.

If Obama passed it- it will be used for the opposite intentions as how it seems it was for.
