    Indications Feinstein and Inhofe did have blind trust and also were not part of the briefing, unlike other two. Also, while insider dealing, both wrote op- Ed's about nothing to worry about, Trump has it all under control.

    The reports are that the people in the briefing told their "rich friends" to sell. It's very likely they were told even if they weren't in the meeting.

    I agree. I still think they should get the death penalty for treason. That isn't a joke.

    Of course we are going to let it go. Have you not paid attention to the last 20 years?

    Yeah, my wife and I and our financial advisor handle all of our investments together. My wife told me today to dump all the rest of our stocks. I had to go against the advice of my financial advisor, Michael, at Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and dump the rest of my stock portfolio. I've never gone against Michail's advice before. It hurt.

    I hope this Michael you speak of is a Fiduciary and not just a "financial advisor".

    treason? Death penalty? I think it sucks and is totally unethical but how is it treason and why should anyone deserve the death penalty for it. Majority of murderers don't get the death penalty.

    Of course, his company requires this. He is licensed.

    I was sure you knew, but some people don't. Anyone can be a "financial advisor", unless you're a felon or something.
