Question

A data processing analyst for a research company finds that a preliminary computer run of survey results that his company conducted for a client show that consumers love the client's new product. Based on that information, the analyst buys a large block of the client's stock. Was this an ethical use of the research data? Which research participant or participants, if any, might be harmed by this action?
