Stop equity trading when my internship starts?

Hey guys, I will be beginning my SA internship in a product group soonish.

I was wondering if I should stop trading equities (for kicks and giggles. Of course nothing serious) once I start my internship, especially I'll be working in a product group.

I don't want to do anything that could potentially be suspicious. Thoughts?

Keep going. Any time you get inside info, call your brother and have him route trades for you through a brokerage account under his name. Share some of the profits with him. Good luck

My last and current employers just have me send duplicate statements to compliance but I can still trade normally. I think that it might be because I don't have a huge account though.

Account size doesn't matter. Do you have access to material non-public information in your job? Does your firm/group maintain a black list for stocks that you can't trade?
