What about the case of North Carolina’s Senator Burr, who dumped large amounts of stock after he attended a closed meeting on how bad the Covid epidemic was going to be? Can you expect someone who knows that he will lose several hundred thousand dollars if he doesn’t act on the information to grit his teeth and take the loss? On the other hand, if he sells, is he cheating the buyers?

I agree that it is a problem, but there seems to be a reason to distinguish between crooks. — Barry On 21 Jan 2025, at 18:05, Jon Zingale wrote: https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading/politician/Nancy%20Pelosi-P000197 <https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading/politician/Nancy%20Pelosi-P000197> I love that she is wrecking the SPY.
