I think they should. Most presidents and governors do.Then all politicians should be required to have ALL of their investments held in blind trusts.Might be a good buy now. However, I think if a public official is in a position to influence the value of a stock or bond, they should not take any position, large or small. It's just not a smart thing to do.Not really. We are talking about a very small amount of money. If anyone believes interest rates are going to rise and they owned a lot of Treasury bonds, they would hedge against interest rate risk by buying an inverse fund like the one Cantor owns.
PS: the fund is down 30% for the year
One could make the case that ANY politician can influence the value of any company or bond. They can make a vote, a statement, a press release....etc...
