The data is not new as a number of other systems cover this but I am happy for it to get more press. There are a couple things on my top dislikes of US politics and not having more restrictions on politicians is up near the top. I have to follow much more stringent disclosures and controls as part of a large private entity that does investment. It’s absurd that folks making policy, who have a potentially closer ear to the ground are not more restricted. The 30 days self reporting disclosure period is a joke too. It’s after the fact, has no real penalty for being late and AFAIK they don’t maintain any real restriction lists so it has no impact.

  Do you use it? Tell me more, why this one?

    No, it has a feature where it connects to your brokerage in order to execute the trades. That’s rather involved for me. Turns out I was wrong and it has been submitted: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42682786 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42682786

  No joke, I used to work there until they went RTO. But I liked the product. It's crazy that our politicians can trade like they do.

  Isn’t trading off of delayed disclosures basically being dumb money? You’re in a similar position to a pump and dump victim.

    Depends on pumping speed. Given the average tenure for Pelosi insider trading, sorry, great investment intuition. The pumping speed is measured in weeks / months instead of hours (like Trump coin). So being late a few days is not the end of the world.

https://www.quiverquant.com/ https://www.quiverquant.com/ is another one I've followed. They do other stuff as well, but they cover congressional trades. An example: https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading/politician/Nancy%20Pelosi-P000197 https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading/politician/Nancy...

Agree but in the meantime you have much bigger fish to fry when your president literally pumped two meme cryptocoins. It's like you used to have a house which has a bit of dust and so you're complaining about dusting a bit better in the future, when the current guest just took a huge shit on the floor.

  I'd argue two dime-a-dozen pump and dumps is dwarfed by the magnitude of issues that letting politicians exploit trading using policy-making. The profits they earn is hardly the issue. The issue is they are motivated to set policy or spend as much govt money in a way that benefits their portfolio. A politician spending an extra billion of public funding to make (say) a half a million themselves is a real issue.

  Nancy Pelosi is worth $200 million is "a bit of dust on the floor"? Her stock-picking record is better than the professional investors despite being very busy with a job in an unrelated field?

    Could it be because her husband runs an investment firm that existed before she had any real power?

      Check out her personal investment history. The party of the working man sure has changed in recent years.
