Why politicians should not own stocks
The sale was on July 1–almost 3 months ago— and the price was lower than on the day the lawsuit was announced.
Are you the only one in here who bothered to look? I saw your comment and decided to look, too, and unless I’m reading this wrong, you’re right and I don’t understand the point of this story.
I believed these stories for a long time until I learned that Nancy Pelosi did not outperform the S&P.
She did outperform the s&p. She crushed it. She beat Warren Buffett as well
Keyword being did. If you pick the right window of my stock portfolio you could say the same thing.
When one wants to be upset and it’s easiest to be upset about things one doesn’t understand. When someone else starts pulling the levers of one’s misunderstandings, they become a tool.
Historically she has beat the S&P and Warran Buffet. It isn’t a small window, it is for years.
One could only dream of that type of performance. It is why there is a bill in play to stop this.
Can you source that?
It’s sourced above.

The point is to make people angry.
FOX Business: FOX News but we make finance dicks feel smart
Republicans are obsessed with pelosi owning stocks as if she’s the only person in Congress who does it. I guess it takes the heat of everyone else… I read a list of the top 10 stock owners and profit makers in Congress, one of course the top ones were republicans.
Also, if you were paying any attention to Visa as an investor it has been obvious for awhile now that the company is underperforming.
Everyone should be mad about this shit. Everyone.
I’m a democrat and get tired of this woman prancing around doing whatever the fuck she wants. Why can congress, or close family, even be allowed to own stock? Of course this bullshit will keep happening and nothing will be done about it.
These people need to be set to higher standards than this.
Exactly. This isn’t as much about Nancy as it is about politicians abusing their power.
What would you think about their holdings and trades being allowed, but having to be public?
If jimmy carter sold his peanut farm so there wouldn’t be any self interest optics while he was president, these congressmen can wait it out until they are no longer serving the public interest
Is anyone surprised anymore? Wasn’t she the one who didn’t let a bill, that prevent them from investing, from passing? Politicians don’t care anymore. They do illegal things in plain
sitesight because they know people won’t do shit. Bitch has been getting re-elected since 1676I admit I use to see it as a non-issue but my opinion has changed. Politicians should not own individual stocks.
Bitch has been getting re-elected since 1676
This made me really laugh out loud.
Illegalize congressman owning stocks
agreed. This shouldn’t even be partisan.
It’s not?

How would that have fixed anything? Nancy Pelosi is not the only member of Congress who is unchallenged for insider trading.

The laws are there. The problem is the nutless SEC.
Kind of inspiring to see our normal downvote brigades find an issue we can agree on.
Let’s join force on this issue.
Nah.
Aoc and gaetz are working on a bill against this. That’s this weirdest super hero team but let it happen
