Insider trading has its advantages. Any of us would go to prison for it
Do you have any evidence, at all, to support your wild accusation? What insider information about Nvidia do you think they had access to?
If you believe the idea of politicians insider trading is wild then you aren’t paying attention
Then it should be pretty easy to provide proof. The state of New York is having a field day with Donald Trump…
They don't even need to have insider knowledge, they decide how regulations will be handed down, how stimuli will be dispersed, how the law will be interpreted among a whole host of other factors. There is absolutely no way for lawmakers to invest ethically outside a blind trust.
Then, providing proof should be no problem. Go on then. The state of New York is having a field day with Donald Trump…
Ok, she hasn't put forward any meaningful tech regulation legislation and owns lots of tech stocks.
Do you understand how pedantic asking for proof is in this situation? Her simply owning the stock is a conflict of interest as it disincentivizes her from performing the duties she was elected to perform.
His trades are more or less public info.
His trades are more consistently profitable than the best corporate investment managers. How exactly do you think that happens?
She bought NVIDIA stock. That hardly seems like it required “insider” info to know it was going to go up.
