Congressional Stock Trading Is Shady As Hell, But Will It Get Banned?

Remember, insider trading is illegal. Unless you’re one of the elite, then it’s totally cool

"Where 51% think 'sure' and 49% are so angry they black out" is a great line.

Insider trading is illegal for everyone except apparently the people in congress.

It should be banned.. it's the same as insider trading

The important part is family members. We know their families will buy the stock. Pelosi is for it due to her husband doing it

In the ancient Roman Republic, senators weren't allowed to engage in banking, public contracts and foreign commerce.

This should be a no-brainer. Want to go into stocks: become a broker. Want to represent your constituents for their betterment: become a politician. Pay them fairly, hold them accountable to financial crime like the rest of us.

It’s completely unethical but it will never be outlawed. They will never shoot themselves in the foot like that.

Lol, Nacy is the biggest insider trader there is. She already made her millions. Now she wants to tear the system down to look like the good guy. Classic politician.

The ban doesn’t work if their families also own large companies and holdings. In fact, ban their entire families/friends/connections from having such assets. A public servant must never be able to amass such disgusting amounts of wealth whether it be through themselves or their connections.

It's all about money. This is America.

Our forefathers dropped the ball, representatives should’ve never been allowed to do this. ever. Never. It explains why this once great country has turned into a corporate nightmare of collapsing bridges and rampant homelessness for most and untold riches for a few. I bet Ms Pelosi and her ilk retire once this law, if it gets passed, passes. I say we go another step further if you work in public office everything you do financially is a matter of public record. We can delay timestamps and locations but I should be able to look up where you got coffee this morning for the entire course of your service. Every dollar they make every penny they spend should be a matter of public record.

"Shady" is an understatement my friend 😂 I always think of this aspect of what people call "first world countries", their elected officials simply make so much money in office by doing this/lobbying/facilitating deals with other countries they out perform the market by a light year 😂

Started following the Congress stock picks last year and even with the downturn I’m still up 18% rn

WOW!!!!! You’re absolutely precise and I will never ever overlook your posts or videos you are a ray of sunlight and information!

Finally! Something we can all agree upon...in principle. How long will we fight about the specifics of a bill to stop this?

Remember that one time where 3 senators Democrat and Republican sold stocks for a profit a few days before the covid pandemic closed the country? I member

What an eye opener! Great video!

Good luck - we’ve never been able to ban greed. It just finds another way.

< TA is all well and good but I find it truly baffling that all major crypto youtubers just look at pure TA and completely ignore the bigger narrative of why BTC is pumping and why the future outlook might not be as rosy as it seems. It's kinda irresponsible to ignore the fact that each ETF launch so far has caused a major dump at the peaks of BTC. More emphasis should be put into day tradiing as it is less affected by the unpredictable nature of the market. I have made over 11 btc from day tradng with Miles Brant, insights and signals in less than 2 weeks, this is one of the best medium to backup your assets incase it goes bearish...
