I only know of Burr and Sen. Kelly Loeffler





What do you think the chances are that four GOP senators (AT LEAST) were dumping stock as probable coronavirus profiteers but that Trump and Jared were NOT?

7. I look at Eric Trump's "now's a great time to buy stocks" tweet on Feb 28 as a "tell"

that the Trump family was ditching their stock holdings too. He's supposedly the dumb one (I know, I know, they're ALL the dumb ones. It's a relative measurement).

8. Misdirection.

They wanted to keep the stock high while they sold. Pumping and dumping.

12. I'm not sure it's realistic to slam tthe Senators who sold stock. Think about it. With all the bad

stories coming out of Chin & Europe about how bad this virus was, anyone who even dabbles in the market HAD TO KNOW the market was going to be hit hard. I have a few thousand of my 401k in money market funds, but nothing I could say Hey, sell my stock in Hilton Hotels or something like that. Yes, my acct. took a BIG HIT, but when I talk to my broker because I'm freaking out he always says, I'll do what ever you wanat, but I recommend you stick with the investments you have. The market will recover.

All I'm saying is if I had investments in companies that were going to be harshly damaged I'd sell too, and it wouldn't take some meeting or some "inside info" to get me to do it. Most likely the majority of those in the House & the Senate sold some investments, not just 4.

This time is not the same as someone buying a stock because they have knowledge that a bill they passed was going to be a goldmine for some company or sector of the market. THAT'S WRONG! This sell was common sense.

They will be able to make the argument that this was already public information.
