Sen. Rand Paul revealed Wednesday in a disclosure that was more than a year overdue that his wife in February 2020 bought up to $15,000 worth of shares in Gilead, a biotech company that brought to market the first drug designed to treat COVID-19.

Paul’s mandatory filing with the Senate shows that his wife purchased between $1,000 and $15,000 worth of Gilead stock on Feb. 26, 2020.

Gilead’s antiviral drug remdesivir became the first COVID-19 specific treatment to win an emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration less that three months after the purchase in May 2020.

CNN will start screaming INSIDER TRADING!!!!!!!!!!!!! But Pelosi and her husband do it all the time and nobody talks about it.

Sounds like a smart buy to me. Good on her!

Ted Lieu’s campaign disbursed $50k to Stanford before his son was accepted there.

Investigate that one.

[shadowlands1960]

Yes.. this seems like a relatively modest investment.. and a good one.

[1Old Pro]

Doesn’t look good.

So?

I would have as well if I had been smart enough and liquid enough.

Nothing immoral or unethical about this.

“ his wife purchased between $1,000 and $15,000 worth of Gilead stock on Feb. 26, 2020”

That narrows it down.

CNN can scream all it wants. WuFlu was already in the news and being scaremongered to the world in January 2020. Nothing "insider" about it.

I don’t have a problem with this. But if it’s true that Paul didn’t report this in a timely manner, then it does look bad on him.

[seowulf]

Yah, I bought Pfizer.

[pnz1]

Just don’t look at Hunter’s laptop(s). Or Joe’s visitors to DE.

[NWFree]

Today I purchased between 1K and 15K of stock. (CEF)

[Fai Mao]

So? By that time everyone could see what was coming.

[Cobra64]

Who cares?

[entropy12]

Exactly what I thought as well!

Paul’s wife lost money on the investment. On the day of Paul’s wife’s purchase, Gilead stock opened the day at $71.32 per share. On Wednesday, it ended the day at $69.84

It wasn’t a good buy. I bought $10,000.00 in Gilead while back and got out at 15% loss.

Sounds like a smart buy to me. Good on her!

I just looked up the stock. It has lost $1 since February 26, 2020, so it hasn't turned out to be a smart buy yet.
