      Problem is, unless you’re rich and powerful crimes tend to have consequences - they only “just let you do it” when your account balance already has a certain number of digits…

    duh. its codified, theyre allowed to legally perform insider trading by their own decree.

      Fun fact.

      As an investor, you can ride their insider-trading coattails legally by investing in the ETF’s NANC or KRUZ.

        isnt this the disgusting reminder that they also made it so no one can find out their trades until 30 days later… purposefully giving their self-made-legal insider trading illegal for regular people?

          NANC is up 53% over the last five years.

          KRUZ is up 27% over the last five years.

          Those aren’t Pelosi numbers, but pretty good. You could do a whole lot worse.

            The S&P500 is up 75.38% in the past 5 years, so following Nancy via the ETF wasn’t anything special.

            We all know she did better than that 53% though…

            Are they notably great? DJI is up 47% over past 5 years. SPX is up 75.46%.

      Perish the thought!

      I’m convinced members of congress consistently outperform the market because of their superior intelligence. After all, we elected them, so by definition they’re the best of us. Right?

    And once again Pelosi is highlighted despite many Republicans outperforming her in the market.

    She hasn’t been Speaker of the House for 2 years.

      She’s consistently a top trader and personally derailed efforts to ban stock trading. I think she deserves the heat.

        Other Republicans are consistently ahead of her. They also voted against banning Congressional insider trading.

        Yet it’s only Pelosi.

          I agree with you in that they should all be held accountable including Pelosi.

          That said, the source is Fortune… I’m not exactly shocked that this article isn’t 100% honest or telling whole-truths…

          She was the minority/majority leader. She didn’t just vote against it, she organized toothless counter proposals to defuse momentum. She’s more responsible than any of those other (also terrible) Republicans.

        Occupy wallstreet was a peaceful protest, which started to work, so the media shut it down.

        These L.A. wildfires are either approaching or have already hit rich people neighborhoods, and aren’t expected to stop anytime soon.

        It wouldn’t surprise me if these fires started with the idea of burning the elite in mind. I’m not saying that’s the case, but if it is…damn. Last I heard these fires already did like 3 billion in damage. If they hit the mansions it’ll probably trillions.
