insider tip

Confidential market intelligence

An insider tip is advice or information that comes from someone with special access or knowledge not available to the general public.

The term often applies to stock market guidance based on non-public corporate information, which can be illegal to act on.

More broadly, it's any helpful suggestion from someone in the know: She gave me an insider tip on the best restaurants in the neighborhood.
