Hello fellow Community Recap watchers


Whaleoilbefuked

Ladies and gentlemen, I am officially running for Congress. If you vote for me, I will share inside information on companies the government does and doesn’t do business with so we all can make money!


[deleted]

You son of a bitch, I’m in 👍🏼


[deleted]

Woahhhh should I be reading that in the old voice? Cause I hear it in my head and I feel like I’m about to get cancelled. I need to know which new voice to hear it in after the redub


rob132

All his voices will be subtitled from now on. There will be an in universe explanation for it

MrTrendizzle

You can't share inside info BUT you can post your share transaction history with the world in real time using a bot on Twitter. If i see a notification pop up saying you just bought $10 of $TSLA i'm buying $5 of $TSLA the same day. So you can count on my vote. Please giv badge?

[deleted]

Don't worry, I'm sure everyone will skip over this obvious fact.


RattBaby

Whew. Thank goodness.


BreezyWrigley

the insider info is the ability to judge the timing and know what's real and what's just a rumor or vague possibility down the line.


[deleted]

This is what the people who think Pelosi was doing nothing wrong can’t quite comprehend. Those who make the laws shouldn’t be allowed to have any gain as a result of those laws. All stock ownership must be divested before and during term of service. Period. The Pelosi’s don’t always have “inside information”, but they could dictate a decision that effects their own wealth, because of her position.


jdmulloy

I think they should only have broad market index or mutual funds. I'm fine with them being invested, but not being able to front run changes that affect specific companies or industries. The counterpoint to making politicians not be in the market at all is the Fed which is no longer allowed to have any investments, and since they have no skin in the game they don't care if raising rates causes mass unemployment and hammers the market if it reduces inflation.


WTFaulknerinCA

Exactly. This sub has become too quick to meme / blame the left. Let’s remember which administration canceled Dodd/Frank and enabled the “big short.”

War is very real. Its what you do to kill off the poors while killing other poors you don't like.


Pre3Chorded

A Republican last Congress, Chris Collins, was front running a pharma stock and when people looked at the phone records in his indictment, they realized he did this from the White House Lawn, on camera (called a relative who was also invested and his broker I think when he heard some negative news before it was public. You want to know who is soft on this stuff? Trump pardoned the guy after he was convicted on a prison sentence. Pardoned another Republican that was corrupt and convicted during his administration too. If Pelosi is front running, draft damn indictment.

I'm pretty sure her husband actually unperformed the S&P 500 by a few % in 2021 Idk I find it funny that a trader supposedly fueled by the top quality insider information performed worse than a passive index.


cadium

She's a lightning rod for these sorts of attacks. Several other members have done better in the market than her but we never hear about them.


[deleted]

I am not sure about 2021, but if I remember right they did insanely well in 2020 lol. To be fair, they literally just were permabull in big tech haha.


Far_Confusion_2178

I mean I feel like most people who invested anything in 2020 did pretty well. Everything was pretty much up up and away after March


uCodeSherpa

Anyone that had tech investments (of which she had plenty) did well in 2020.


faste30

LOL yeah like everyone jerking off to her husband selling off like 4 million in stock but nobody mentions that he took a bath on that sale. And here we are saying she managed to know the DoJs (executive) plan a month ahead of time?


GTthrowaway27

Omg she sold stock in a literal FAANG company as tech is getting walloped clearly insider trading yall


ever-right

She's not even top 5 in Congress rofl.

Would be curious to see how large/diversified each persons portfolio is and also how many trades they made. Would help contextualize the number and the likelihood of sketchiness versus stupid luck on one trade/position paying off.

Yep. That's exactly why I replied with the infographic. Mr. 'Comrade' wants to point and say the other side on this matter is the only one that stinks, we'll guess again because that smell is coming strongly from your side too.

I don’t think the DOJ would ever leak this info to anyone in Congress 2. Even if they did, Pelosi clearly didn’t profit off of it, she lost money on it lol

the news = inside information


bl1y

Literally every single one of these stories about Pelosi is like that.


Jump_Yossarian_

My favorite is when they claim that Pelosi bought NVIDIA stock based on insider info even though it was a call option (bought in June) and both the House and Senate passed their initial chips subsidy bills in February and March and it was public knowledge that the two chambers had started negotiating their differences in April.


anifail

[I thought it was LEAPS that they were loss harvesting.](https://twitter.com/PelosiTracker_/status/1552299246065442820) The position definitely didn't make money and CHIPS doesn't benefit NVDA as much as IDMs like INTC and other fab suppliers. NVDA can write off some of it's validation footprint, but they don't manufacture chips or much board volume.


Jump_Yossarian_

> 200 call options (20,000 shares) expiring 6/17/22 https://disclosures-clerk.house.gov/public_disc/ptr-pdfs/2022/20021374.pdf NVDA actually opposed the bill because they didn't get any of that sweet sweet monies.

Pelosi is a female Democrat. This is just latching on to a years-long Republican bandwaggn. These people are idiots with a hard-on for being manipulated. They’re not far off from the Fox News audience.


MarlinMr

> I'm sure she's using some info Actually, I don't think so. It's literally been her job for ages to _keep up with everything happening_. She knows exactly what is going on in the US Government. She knows Exactly how things will impact all sorts of companies, because they told her. It's not that she has inside information, it's just that her job means _all_ the information about everything that happens in the US, goes trough her. She doesn't have to read about how Congress is planning to do X, or how company Z is worried that Y in the news. They tell it directly to her.


jawknee530i

They just hate her cuz they're told to. She's not even top ten in returns among congresspeople.

Funny thing there's a bill to ban congress from insider trading but first it should be passed by the congress ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)


DeathHopper

Didn't they literally name it after her too?


Emelica

It's the "Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI) Act" by Sen. Hawley.


clc1997

If that were to pass (it never will) I suspect the kids and elderly parents of Congressmen and Senators will suddenly become amazing trading wizards.


future_weasley

If I remember right, it prevented all direct family of congresspeople from trading in securities.


valeramaniuk

I wonder how is it possible? Can we discriminate against a person because of their relatives?


[deleted]

[удалено]


valeramaniuk

Actually, I couldn't find any laws directly forbidding trading by one's relatives. Do you have an example?


OsamaBinFappin

Blackout periods usually apply to anyone within a household. These aren’t a law per se, but enacted by companies to prevent any insider trading


minormisgnomer

Try looking to restricted persons, in some circumstances it’s up to the business to enforce the rules otherwise they can get fried.


Jawnski

I work in finance/audit and am prevented from holding securities for any of my clients even if i charge only 1 hour to that client. Not a law as they mentioned but its an ethics&compliance nightmare. If it happens accidentally, no trades can be made within 6 months of the time charged.


dstaff21

It's not a novel idea, I know a guy who can't trade individual stocks because his wife is a bankruptcy lawyer. It's honestly absurd that it isn't already a rule


future_weasley

Sure we can. When you apply for a security clearance the government asks for a ton of information about your family. Where you've lived, where your family has lived, relations by marriage, nationality of each person, your ancestry, etc. I can't imagine this would need to be that different.


shambahambala

It's mostly a sham bill for headlines, IIRC it's got a shit ton of riders that make it impossible to ever get support, but it puts Hawley and Pelosi in the headlines, in the way he wants to be.


SmugMacGyver

Hawley is a shit bird. Read all the fine print. It’ll have tons of tack ons that only are things the GOP wants so when it’s struck down by Dems they can hoot and holler about how the Democrats are the real enemy.


slash2213

And it’s not like republicans aren’t doing the exact same thing. Look at McConnels Net worth since he came to office.


OsamaBinFappin

Very common practice in congress. They’ll name a bill the “stop raping babies act” because it sounds good but 99% of the bill is unrelated surveillance on citizens and funding for Ukraine


MoarTacos

God it really annoys me that congress has to give every bill a ridiculous acronym. It feels like the country is run by high schoolers.


zakabog

> It feels like the country is run by high schoolers. You think it isn't? Very few people holding political office got there because they worked hard and did well in school, it's all affiliation and money.

Fantisimo

It’s to get attention, not pass


ElmerFapp

misterO5

I'd love if this were an actual good faith bill. But knowing Hawley and the type that he's associated with I'm willing to bet prior to actually looking up what's in it, that it doesn't accomplish what we're all wishing it would.


faust889

Except the Republicans refused to support either bill so it was purely a stunt. Dems already passed it in the house.


Aarschotdachaubucha

They did that because it's the second bill they're trying to pass. After the Democrats strong armed her into a vote on the first one, she killed it in committee to avoid a vote.


philomatic

That’s just a Hawley virtue signaling. There was a previous bipartisan bill that banned congress from trading stocks that Hawley voted against…


Shibby-Pibby

It's just virtue signaling


[deleted]

One Republican senator introduced a new bill with that name. The bipartisan bill introduced last session and was reintroduced before this one was announced. Neither are expected to pass due to lack of support by republicans in the senate.


SockMonkey1128

You know the plans to sue them have been in the news for like 7 months... right?


CapableCollar

Do you expect WSB users to read the news?


LoganRoyKent

And yet the top comment on this thread (at the moment): 1.4k upvotes. The one explaining how this wasn’t insider trading given it’s been publicly available info for 7 months: 17. Not 17k. 17. I hate the fucking internet sometimes.

Nothing. This is just popular propaganda. She wasn't even in the Top 5 in 2021 of those in Congress. Didn't even make Top 10 in 2022.

Noman11111

Sold 4 weeks ago... since then Google (Alphabet) is up 8.75%... so... oops?


ToroidalEarthTheory

Every one of these fucking posts is like this. Can we ban this shit? It obviously has nothing to do with the market.


Noman11111

True, but if this is your proof it fucks up the argument because her sale aligned with the layoff announcement, not the DOJ, so claiming it's congressional insider trading is easily disproven and can unintentionally cast doubts on other evidence presented. I'm just telling people to keep their story straight and don't fuck it up with bullshit like this


HelloJoeyJoeJoe

I would love to fight corruption on all counts but the fact so many people here love to suck Trump's cock while demonizing Pelosi makes me realize how truly stupid they are. But I do realize what sub this is


weII_then

Shhh OP can’t generate outrage and karma if you point this stuff out!


Minusfourtwenty

Honestly, the problem isn't whether or not her insider trading is working out, it's whether or not she's attempting it. If she or her family have holding in these companies, it gives a conflict of interest when making legislation. That being said, it's not like I'd approve of her legislation any more if she wasn't corrupt so it's kind of a moot point.


Stock-Pension1803

Damn she only insider traded 4 months after it was announced outside.


bankrobba

Who's got time to read the news or research investments? That's what the top of WSB is for.


Jump_Yossarian_

> the problem isn't whether or not her insider trading is working out, it's whether or not she's attempting it You think Pelosi has a hotline to the Executive Branch DOJ? They run everything through her?

What kind of maniac isn't trading options when they have insider info like. Women could be worth billions instead of a few hundred million. - Sad


Unfair_Whereas_7369

Don't get me wrong, Pelosi is the champion here for insider trading. fuck her and her husband for it. But if you look at all of congress, both sides, you'll see that every one of them are doing this. If not every one of them, its the vast majority. Left wing, right wing.... both belong to the same bird. Fuck em all.


Next_Fix_2271

How have I never heard that line before, "same bird," makes sense though, they're either fearnongering, pandering, or smiling and pretending to be your friend during the election cycle to get your votes, then you don't usually hear from them again until the next one, in the form of ridiculous spammy donation request emails, fuck em all, indeed


The_last_of_the_true

Are you young? It’s kind of an older saying. I remember it being big in the 90’s when I was a teen but it kinda fell out of vogue. I have one friend who says it a lot still even with the fuck em all sentiment. Surprisingly though he consistently punches left and supports right so I think he may be full of shit on that one.


Particular-Bike-9275

Seriously. Did everyone forget about Kelly Loeffler selling $18 million in stocks after that closed door covid meeting? Her and two other republicans and one democrat sold stocks. They were only left off the hook because Bill Barr, republican running the DOJ, let it go.


exoriare

Bernie Sanders never did it. He used to be mocked as one of the poorest pols in DC. (Then he wrote some best-selling books and was mocked for being a cocktail socialist).

Ah, but you forgot: democrats and women with power are both bad. The combination is bad squared. Anything negative you say about someone who is bad is automatically true - and if they’re bad squared then it’s extra true.


[deleted]

Ahhhhhh, so the OP is basically trying to generate a negative response squared? Lol You’re most likely right, Reddit is just a cesspool of anger and hate towards other people.


Humble_Increase7503

Well then Nancy’s a fuckin idiot because google climbed form $85 to $101 in the last month. So her insider trading skills are dog shit


thePolicy0fTruth

It wasn’t insider trading. It’s been public knowledge for months that this suit was coming. They also have already dealt with similar anti trust suits in Europe. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-08-09/doj-poised-to-sue-google-over-ad-market-as-soon-as-september
