Wait why can politicians trade stocks? 

Who is gonna pass laws to stop them 💀

Good Work meets Bad Congress... the collab we all knew had to happen

I am on drugs so I wouldn't have noticed either way at the moment, but I'll try to remember in a few hours (I won't)

Honestly? Politicians trading stocks is a lot more like the referee or the commissioner of the league betting on the games

​@@ChartreuseDan I only know about horse racing, but it's really similar to this insider trading but with strategic rostering who is opening up and pulling back slightly for another race. They are all friends and chat with each other while training each morning. Strategically they hold back horses if they are trying to drop them to lower leagues or save them for later races. This is coordinated between them to achieve wins. Tips are genuine things in horse racing and if you help train them, you see it all. Pretty corrupt. Also, substance bans are updated each year and only filtered down gradually to lower leagues, so at all levels, they use not yet banned performance-enhancing drugs. I would say it's only in the place I worked, but the phone conversations I was party to and that my cousins loved to talk, I saw it all. In the Olympics with the Russian scandals and many other countries caught doping they do the exact same. Slightly alter drugs each year, so they are not shown as a banned substance in their system. This is a constant in high-end horse racing and with people is the same in large countries. (Edit) Btw, their colluding was about keeping a balance of spreading wins and losses according to when they want to use the most of a horse or get a win with a worse one taking advantage of the fact the better ones are holding back. Corrupt in itself, but from what I've seen, they don't bet and just spread the winnings more predictably, but give out tips to friends.

true, get em all on the parleys

@@ChartreuseDan Haven't watched sport in a while, but do referees get to sports bet and disqualify players / award points at will?

@@sollertia_they aren’t supposed to but they still do. The cowboys football team had some refs that were cited for that.

A light tickle would be more effective...

It's truly a whole other world for them

You think that's crazy, wait til you find out who decided what the rules should be

I thought they meant $200K Silly me

That's basically just 1-2 hours of "work" for them

See this is why they don't want us to be educated. The more we know what stuff are the angrier we'd get 😂

@@vdinh143LITERALLY LMAO

And when she showed off how much “jeni’s” ice cream she stock piled for lockdown…

​@jackjones4824yeah because why would you ever study something you're passionate about if it's not profitable right

The problem wasn't the stimulus checks, it was giving them to everyone by default. If they assigned them by need, people with debt like you could get more and millionaires who likely profited off the pandemic in the first place. I know plenty of people in my area who got the check and threw it away on lottery tickets and alcohol, money that could have helped charities and those in need.

That would have been a weird 18 minutes

It really do be that easy.

@@alexb50 And we'd deserve every second of it

They should ve allowed to do it, vut they should be forced to publish their weekly income and outcome and that of their direct family. Afterall their is no way we can prevent them from making money of their activities (if u forbid stock trading they will just put money in a trust and then do it over them camens)

their bank statements should be monitored and made public, their pay should be cut, and they should be forbidden from any form of stock trading. all congress members should live in the same community in the same housing modeled after low income apartments in the rest of america

If you think it is only one side doing this you are a tool.

that’s how all channels about finance bros end up going XD

You mean the long answer is Noooooooooooooo

The long answer is "Fuck no!"

How about hell the fuck naw!!!

I think the answer should be "yes but it has to be an index fund anyone can invest in" If they try to do things that enrich themselves everyone else should be able to easily get in on that. It also makes them actual civil servants doing things that help people

What if they owned VTI then they would have the incentive to improve the economy and not just their bank accounts

More than no restrictions?

I’m a very low level analyst at a real estate investment firm on the marketing side and even I’m restricted on buying any stock of any of our partners or vendors. I’m a peon and am more restricted than congress

@@DogAmongMen Well yeh I just say that because I don’t know the specifics I think he can have an ETF but that’s about it

i work cyber in the industry and can confirm. we are more restricted than us politicians.

Can confirm - used to work at a small restructuring investment bank and we sometimes had public clients in bankruptcy, it was very restrictive. FINRA regulated firms who deal with public clients or public securities must bar their employees from trading individual stocks unless they get written approval from compliance, and if you are cleared (if they reply fast enough) you can only trade on that same day, otherwise you have to ask again. Basically you have little agency to time any of your trades so it can seriously disincentivize if you are trying to make a short term or time sensitive play, basically keeping you from using long term limit orders or stop losses (you have to ask permission for selling too, same process). If you are employed by one of these firms, you also have to disclose all investment accounts you have under any broker dealer and any trades you make with that broker dealer are reported to your firm. Even if you individually don't have access to MNPI (material non-public info) but your firm does because they do business with a certain publicly traded client, you will get terminated for trading without permission. One caveat is you (most of the time) can trade ETFs or indexes freely without permission, which is how it should be for congress (though they would still have skated out of the covid selloff). It's fucking insane that the same scrutiny isn't applied, especially when they're out here convicting and fining people for insider trading (fines can be 2-3x the gain made or loss avoided for us normies). Disgusting hypocracy.

He definitely said that on purpose 😂

😂😂

Definitely, removing a lot of public programs would definitely be necessary to help our starving senators.

Unironically this would be a good solution. It's kind of crazy that members of congress make less money than your average director at a private company. Given how expensive it is to live part-time in DC your average representative actually is house poor if they don't have a "side hustle" and this incentivizes them to look for opportunities to profit instead of just doing their job.

​@@dkizzle3135they are supposed to be public servants. Innumerable benefits come from the fame and notoriety good public service can provide. Just ask yourself if you'd agree to serve as senator right now for a salary of $0, and you'll understand.

Maybe the people who serve the interests of the nation should be the kind of people who do the job for the sake of being public servants instead of people who want the position so they can become rich​@@dkizzle3135

To be fair that is what Singapore does. Their president has the highest salary of any democratically elected official in the world, but Singapore is not a nation to seek political guidance considering they are a pseudo-dictatorship.

and like all of them do.

@@ThePoodleeven the ones in this video trade on the low lmao

That isn't what insider trading is.

however, "Sometimes, history needs a little push" - Vladimir Lenin "Be strong in the belief that life is wonderful. Be positive and believe that the Revolution will always win." - Valery Sablin's last letter to his son before his execution. The ruling class may offer us concessions, but we will never get what we want. So, what is to be done? We, as the working people, the ones who built the towers where the trade, paved the runways where their private jets land, and the ones who filled their stomachs, must become the ruling class ourselves, as some have called before, a "dictatorship of the proletariat". For context, what we live in now is referred to as a "dictatorship of the bourgoeise"

I see you, Representative Jon Ossof

​@@shikharrajeI'm sure he's a Senator, not a Rep. I think he was elected during the GA special elections that gave Democrats their majority

​@@michaelsmith953if you say nothing then no one can disagree with you

Some of you folks say the most darnest things at times, joke or not. May God bless your hearts.

“then visited the house, white…”

​@jackjones4824I mean, I agree with the sentiment, but it is also a question of raising outside capital. A loan is not necessarily the best tool in every instance

@jackjones4824 that's the most diplomatic way of saying "seize the means of production" that I've ever heard.

@jackjones4824 I'm too uneducated to offer a nuanced answer. I have read that capitalism has a bigger body count than communism, and found the arguments compelling. I've also dabbled in the history of the Soviet Union and I know for a fact that American efforts at regime change played a big role in their failure.

@jackjones4824 my reading suggests that colonialism was the mother of capitalism. The book "Empire of Cotton" goes into great depths into this, focusing on how English State Power appropriated wealth from the colonies using private actors who were then allowed to concentrate that capital and ultimately usurp power from the state. I agree there are a lot of intersecting Venn diagrams if we dive deeper into this topic. Again, I am not educated enough to even attempt an answer. I have my world view and, in it, capitalism isn't the holy saviour it's made out to be.

@jackjones4824This is the funniest yet saddest thing about the American people. They are perhaps the most socialist people in the world, yet are too naïve to realise it. They have been taught their entire life that socialism is an evil thing, because it is in their best interests to make sure it never happens, as socialism will give the power to us people instead of them. Also, i see you mentioned that we shouldn't jump to Soviet style communism - completely true. Different economic systems function differently based on the material conditions, At that time, the USSR was a third world country in crisis with millions dead recovering from a civil war, over time, it became a first world country, reaching space, and briefly surpassing the USA economically in 1983 despite having a planned economy. Of course, it's not just about the material conditions, mistakes obviously must be acknowledge lest we repeat them.

The answer to the question “why can politicians trade stocks?” Is “no”?

Hi, I'm a uni student interested in consulting and was wondering if I could talk to you and ask you a few questions?

Because the point of political power is to exercise it and get more capital. People act like capitalism is pure and shouldn't be mixed up with dirty politics. The whole point of power is to exercise it.

@@ChasmChaos 🤣👍🏻

It's nuts.

Just ''buy the dip'' man. In the long term it will payoff. High interest rates usually mean lower stock prices, however investors should be cautious of the bull run, its best you connect with a well-qualified adviser to meet your growth goals and avoid blunder

The truth is that this is really not as difficult as many people presume it to be. It requires a certain level of diligence, no doubt, which is something ordinary investors lack, and so a financial advisor often comes in very handy. My friend just pulled in more than $84k last month alone from his investment with his advisor. That is how people are able to make such huge profits in the market

nice! once you hit a big milestone, the next comes easier.. who is your advisor please, if you don't mind me asking?

ANGELA LYNN SCHILLING' is her name. She is regarded as a genius in her area and works for Empower Financial Services. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.

Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her resume.

"Oh, so like, you don't rant about the border because it's a pressing issue. There's literally no room in your head for any other thoughts"

I don't think that guy is hollow. He's supporting a bipartisan issue. He needs his voters (who are probably massive bigots) to not think that he isn't a bigot. It's his way to re-affirm that and ensure he's on their good sides. Really shrewd imo.

@@ChasmChaosconsidering the reason he’s there has f*ck all to do with immigration and he barley even got a word out before he went on that rant, it’s like he’s an AI robot with human skin stapled to it with prerecorded responses to make the plebs he’s trying to manipulate into empowering him cheer him on.

But obviously the invisible hand of the market will work around them and minimize their profits. In the end, our system will work as intended. The current things that are happening definitely aren't the system working as intended. Nope. Definitely not. Nuh-uh.

It isn't a debate. There's no arguments for the other side. It's just a matter of Congressional leadership doesn't want to do it because they like money.

​@@chickensangwich97"there are no arguments for the other side because I ignore them"

@@tempejkl what actually matters is an efficient market, it's just that most interventions make it less efficient. This is a case where "free" is actually hurting efficiency. Letting people trade on private info strongly hurts the market, leading to less liquidity, hesitant investors, and money stolen from everyone else.

Because republicans towing the party line are inventing a conflict and actively torpedoing efforts to address real issues on orders from Trump and the Heritage Foundation as an election strategy.

Ahhh, capitalism. Same in my country, my friend. On a €200k per year salary, you still cannot afford any home. How crazy is that? Minimum wage is 5.30 too, it's probably worse here than in USA.

The bill to ban TikTok went from introduction to a vote within 1 week.
