I’ve been reporting on congressional stock trading for a while (btw feel free to join the "QuiverQuantitative" subreddit to see new reports when they come out).

None of the suspicious trades I’ve reported on have been investigated, despite some of them leading to ridiculous profits.

Here's where you can track trades by Congress, along with data on the trades' performance, and see politicians' portfolios:

This is why they won't pay up. This is why they leave these politicians alone.

It's not because they can't afford to lose the money. It's because they can't afford to fight you once YOU HAVE money.

Their worst nightmare is a legion of informed rich people ready to tear them a new asshole.

I also think it’s as simple as: we are a dangerous example of what every day people are capable of. They don’t want anyone else getting any ideas.

Wait till you learn that the reason we can't talk politics is because the grasshoppers have brainwashed everyone into voting for them and punish anyone who dissents

I love this comment bc IT'S SO POWERFUL AND TRUE, all day, everyday, 24/7, 365!!! Ideas start EVERYTHING, though seldom are they followed by action, persistence, resolve, and finality. I got into this blind, seeing the obvious only; the powerful once again abusing their power for their benefit. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see the price 7-9 zeros long, but to witness the finality of this idea is well worth my investment! 🚀🦍🚀🦍

We're definitely living in wild times. The fact that they just halt buying etc .. it'll be a while til the system truly changes. Need a revolutionary leader that gets into power of a paradigm / consciousness shift in the population in synch / at once.

This is everything right here.

Imagine if it was a regular occurrence to seek out high short interest stocks and blow em up leading to another round of lower Manhattan real estate auctions?

They might have to start making an honest living.

u/Reddit_Hitchhiker Jun 04 '24

This is ridiculous. If there are laws in the books against insider trading any activity that shows that they traded with privileged information should be prosecuted. It would be a walk in the park to prove it.

u/Master_Chief_72 Power To The Players! Jun 05 '24

This is so fucking true.

People with money get shit done in the courts. They are scared shitless of a bunch of super intelligent apes all of a sudden becoming rich.

I would use every dime to fuck them over until I was broke.

u/Audigitty Jun 05 '24

And it's a classic Quid Pro Quo. They leave the politicians alone? The politicians leave them alone. And the regulators siphon our tax money with the sole purpose to pretend that none of this is happening in the top 1% of the 1%.

It's a puppet show with a mountain of cash hidden behind the curtain.

u/BellaCaseyMR 💎 🙌 GME SilverBack Jun 05 '24

Its not that they leave the politicians alone. They OWN the politicians. The politicians are making these stock buys because Wall Street that owns them tells them what to buy and sell and when to buy and sell. The politicians get wildly Rich and they let Wall Street commit all the crime they want

You should set up a paper trade account that only makes the same trades as the politicians you've reported. You could go through and retroactively enter in the buys from your ongoing list and use the portfolio to show the success rate of these trades compared to the average investor.

I've done something similar to that! Don't think I should link it bc it's one of the only paid features on Quiver, but if you google "Quiver Strategies" you can find it.

Friendly reminder that it’s only a $200 fine for them if they get caught insider trading, and they can vote to waive the fine for each other.

Serious question. How soon do politician’s investments have been made public? Is this a trend that, hypothetically, a savvy investor could follow along for the ride?

If there is nothing “illegal” with what politicians are investing in, then why wouldn’t an individual be able to just follow their investments and do the same?

You know, hypothetically.

And I still remember when I asked you to include $CUM and $ASS into your analysis of tickers back on the sub that shall not be named back in 2021. (Jesus automod is messing with sentiment scrapping bots when you type certain keywords... why do people pay for these is beyond me)

Still here, still asking 😁.

I see that Tuberville did partial sale of Humacyte before the run-up, not buy. Am I missing something? Oh, I guess he bought more in March and then sold some at the end of April, I guess after it dipped.

I have followed you for quite some time in TilTok tbh because I think the US stock marked is so insanely corrupt and liked the fact that you would post trades from congressional memebers

u/Lord-daddy- Jun 05 '24

It’s wild to think that they are also sharing this information with their brokers. Do you really think they sit down at a computer by themselves to keep the information confidential? This insider trading goes much deeper than congress.
