There's nothing wrong with any politician simply trading in stocks / equities PROVIDED they dont use any "inside information" to steer them to a particular buy or sell at a particular time.


How can that possibly be enforced? If you have constant advance knowledge of companies about to implode, are you supposed to just not sell your stock? The only way to truly enforce it, is force all elected officials to only be allowed to invest in a completely hands off blind trust, this would be not very popular I suspect.

I'm ok with a retirement fund invested in stocks and bonds managed by an independent professional.
Most of my money is in that type of fund
It's done well
I'm also OK with investing in an index fund
I have money in that as well
I am against a congress person actively trading in individual stocks

You must be mistaken! Our friends here have pointed out 286 things Trump has done to destroy the economy! How would it be that the companies that make up ‘the economy’ are doing so well!?

But Greenland doesn’t like us anymore!
But there are a few skiffs laying mines in the Straight!
But gas prices are nearing all time highs!

Point being Trump won’t ’crash The Market’. Even if it seems like he’s trying…

No problem! Now we can get more money from our stocks and mutual funds when we sell them to pay to put gas in our cars and to heat or cool our homes! Not to mention put meat and potatoes on the table. Still that's not a problem to Dr.SooPoo, who thinks regular consumption of hot dogs is the base for a balanced and nutritious diet!
