Financial markets obviously have asymmetry of information. That is, there are different types of traders whose behavior is induced by different types of information that they possess. In this talk, we consider a ''small'' investor who trades in an arbitrage free financial market so as to maximize the expected utility of his wealth at a given time horizon. We assume that he is in the following position : He possesses extra information about some functional $Y$ of the future prices of a stock (e.g. value of the price at a given date, hitting times of given values, ...). Our basic question shall be: What is the value of this information ?
