Pelosi is carrying around a bill to stop insider trading by Congress in the hope it makes it appear she’s doing something. But it’ll never get passed, the inside traders vote on it.

Insider trading and Congress: How lawmakers get rich from the stock market

Congressional insider trading has long been a hot issue, and lawmakers continue to look for a way to put an end to the practice. In 2012, the STOCK Act was passed following allegations of insider trading before the 2008 financial crisis. However, experts say the law didn't go far enough. Watch...

Congress Quickly And Quietly Rolls Back Insider Trading Rules For Itself

In November of 2011, the TV show 60 Minutes did a big expose on insider trading within Congress. While everyone else is subject to basic insider trading rules, it turned out that members of Congres…

Educate YOURSELF. I showed a link to the bill making it illegal. Obama passed it. I don't give a fuck what Pelosi is doing. INSIDER TRADING IS ILLEGAL FOR EVERYONE.

I can thank Uncle Jojo and the stupid Democrats for rabid inflation and the burgeoning recession.

The market was down 55% between Oct 2007 and March 2009.

You must have been doubly mad then, only that time at the Republicans.

Education is lacking in your world. It was immediately watered down afterwards.

Leftard source that blames Republicans, but look at the vote. 417-2.

By a vote of 417–2, the House of Representatives today passed the House GOP’s watered down version of the Stop Congressional Trading on Insider Knowledge (STOCK) Act, which was authored by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA). The bill removed significant provisions, including one forcing influence peddlers who sell information they learn from Congress to corporations to register as lobbyists. The House GOP’s changes to the bill prompted Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley (IA) to blast his own party for fulfilling “Wall Street’s wishes.” The bill now goes to conference committee, as a stronger bill already passed the Senate.

The Leftest filth in this country will make you lose everything you have.

They don't want you to have anything.

It is not fair for you to have things that you worked for.

The Far Left wants socialism where everyone is totally dependent on the government. That gives Piglosi and Nadler and Lizzy Warren and Uncle Jojo control of your lives.

Real Estate crashes and takes years to recover.

Sometimes, it comes back fast. Southern California did.

I know I'm not in an index fund because I can get the details on every single stock, bond, and commodity that they are holding for me. It ain't an index fund. But it is more diverse than the Dow.

If it is more diverse than the DJI, why does it follow the DJI exactly?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Both our 401ks are down 17% right now. But both are also buying more shares than before with the same amount of money. When the market comes back we will be far better off than we would have been if not for the dip.

Our other investments are down a tad less than our 401ks, but I have in the last few months bought up some good bargains to if they only get back to their past levels and not beyond that it will at least triple my money I invested in them.

Thanks to the ChiComs who are buying $6B of California real estate a year.

Six Takeaways From WSJ’s Investigation Into the Stock Trades of Government Officials​

A Wall Street Journal investigation revealed that thousands of officials across the U.S. government’s executive branch disclosed owning or trading stocks that stood to rise or fall with decisions their agencies made.
Across 50 federal agencies ranging from the Commerce Department to the Treasury Department, more than 2,600 officials reported stock investments in companies while those companies were lobbying their agencies for favorable policies, during both Republican and Democratic administrations. When the financial holdings caused a conflict, the agencies sometimes simply waived the rules.

What recession?

When did this happen?

Here’s my approach:

When Biden hands you lemons, make lemonade.

I am transferring some of my traditional IRA into my Roth at this low, taking the tax hit now, and then riding the recovery back up with all gains tax-free.

(The only thing holding me back from transferring more is the tax bite. I still have to keep that manageable.)

Good approach.

We have been upping our 401k contributions to take advantage of the low price per share and buying up more shares with both of them.

Sure, they look ugly now but when the market is back we will be far ahead of where we would have been.

That is hoarding, not investing. You won't make a profit like that, fool.

Stocking up is only hoarding if things are in short supply. At this time most goods are plentiful.

Real Estate crashes and takes years to recover.

True. I bought my apartment building in a down market, but also sold in in a down market as well. Three years after I sold the market came roaring back. But I was ready to sell and move on. I lost between $100,000 and $200,000.

Obama already passed this law and Congress is breaking the law because they can.

What’s any of that have to do with the fact that Congress can legally conduct insider trading?
