    insider trading fraud. Imprison them. Their dumping likely sparked a much larger drop than what might have happened. Did they spark the paranoia?

    This will get worse and it will be POS from both parties.

    The question is are we going to let this go?

    I dumped $1.6 million in stocks before coronavirus crisis because I saw what was happening in China on TV and NOT because of secret intel briefings claims Republican senator - as at least three others face questions over sales
    • Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr said Friday that he relied on 'public news reports' when deciding to offload stock holdings
    • In a statement he said he had reached out to the chairman of the Senate Ethics Committee 'and asked him to open a complete review'
    • Burr is under fire for offloading between $582,029 and $1.56million of his stock holdings in mid-February

    Honestly... Me... My wife and our financial advisors handle all of our money and assets. I just know what she tells me I can spend. I almost never look at that stuff. Obviously we're in a much different situation than they are though.
