I don't understand why Nancy Pelosi is always singled out. According to the Motley Fool, she wasn't even in the top 5 in returns in 2023. Even if you single out the Democrats, she wasn't in the top 3.

Prevent them from buying stocks and any information based on policies released to anyone should be considered insider trading. Or if they have ties to the industry, prevent them from voting on policies.

Exactly. It's not like we picked this fight. She wants our enmity.

I'm a huge AOC fan. Thank you for the info.

Any time!

Her getting singled out might have to do with the 20 years she's served as head of the Democrats in the house of representatives and the numerous failures of her tenure.

Makes sense.

Until just last year Luxembourg had some excellent banking privacy laws. For the most secure institutions one might even have to visit in person to move a large amount of money.

Ro Khanna is number one! Wtf?

[–] chillinit@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's ranked by number of trades, not volume of money, capital gains, or ROI. He's likely just running an algorithm.

[–] abrake@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Even by volume, he's number two with 94 million.

That's $22k traded 4.5k times. There's very little to be inferred except he's made about 12 trades per day.

The day she walked into office, she announced that there would be no attempt to charge bush and Chaney for war crimes. I kinda didn't like her since then.

(I know the magas would never grip a black man's hand like that, but it's just a meme folks.)

Real talk, Pelosi perpetuates the gerontocracy, and smells of insider trading, BUT, she is very effective at aligning and moving people around a shared goal.

It’s time for her to go, but I can’t totally hate her.
