Now if you listen to Senator Josh Hawley (R) talking about how some in Congress essentially insider trade stocks and make millions in profits based on the truly privileged information they are in possession of. Truly firsthand knowledge regarding the ups and downs of a company's stock price related to its current and future value and fortune turns directly on legislation that Congress passes that directly control them. Senator Hawley (R) proposes to ban that activity.
And here we have the best stock market trader in Congress today, Nancy Pelosi and her husband. Who as a team consistently beat the best professional hedge fund returns on their investments: Exclusive | Pelosi added millions to net worth last year: report
I have a very different and more effective proposal than Senator Josh Hawley (R) to deal with this undefendable activity by those in Congress.
First: Create a data base open to the public to monitor and see in real time by the minute that ALL Congressional members must be on and list their stock trades BEFORE they make them. Their stock buying and selling activities one minute before or three months before they are executed. This list would include the name of the Congressional member and their related spouse and anyone else who becomes in possession of that privileged information that comes from that Congressional member in regard to buying or selling any stock. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Second: Failing to comply with this rule / law would result in the forced selling of any stock concerned and a penalty of the same amount. This would include any increase and profit in stock value. No muss no fuss, no threat of legal issues or prosecution.
The Congress has forever participated in true insider trading being the body of law in America that sit in direct control over the rules and legislation concerning all company and stock related issues, why shouldn't the public have the same opportunity? Congresses planned stock buying and selling activity would be a real time stock market indicator and industry.
The effects of this simple rule / law would be truly an equitable manner to allow the public to participate in the stock market on a more equal footing.
No muss, no fuss.
