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.
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.
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.
Disguised Republican propaganda, there hasn't been a year where Pelosi was number one since people started keeping an eye on her moves and she's always getting beat by a bunch of Republicans no one cares about.
Nothing disguised about it
Considering that most people don't realize that she's not #1 and that she even got beat by the S&P in 2022, I think it's fair to say that it's pretty well disguised
The point is to make people angry.
FOX Business: FOX News but we make finance dicks feel smart
Check the rules of the community you're in. This place isn't about truth.
Also, if you were paying any attention to Visa as an investor it has been obvious for awhile now that the company is underperforming.
Illegalize congressman owning stocks
agreed. This shouldn't even be partisan.
It's not?
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.
It happened 3 months before and Republicans always beat her
They still shouldn't be trading individual stocks, whether they have inside information or not.
Sure, I'm just saying there's a reason why it's always her that media talks about even when it's clearly not insider trading and even if she always gets beaten by Republicans.
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
Exactly. This isn’t as much about Nancy as it is about politicians abusing their power.
Everyone should be mad about this shit. Everyone.
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 ~~site~~ sight because they know people won't do shit. Bitch has been getting re-elected since 1676
I'll be surprised when they start talking about all the Republicans that beat her every year
Bitch has been getting re-elected since 1676
This made me really laugh out loud.
I admit I use to see it as a non-issue but my opinion has changed. Politicians should not own individual stocks.
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
