This seems silly. She has a $260 million stock portfolio. Is it really news that it went up by 2% on Monday? Is it news when it goes down by 2%?

Her ability to pick stocks (and to time her transactions) may be uncanny, to put it delicately, but that’s a different thing.

Sure she did. That demented old cow is now a financial wiz.

Someone did it in her name as a bribe.

Why do insider trading laws apply to everyone else but not to politicians?

Crime! She is a democrat. With all her wealth, might I suggest she investigate more surgery as she is looking her age.

She may be telling a half lie.

Here’s a breakdown of how to play the market without owning stock:

1. Short Selling:

Short selling involves borrowing shares of a stock from a broker and selling them, with the hope that the price will fall.

If the price decreases, you can buy back the shares at a lower price and return them to the broker, profiting from the difference.

This strategy allows you to profit from a stock’s decline, but it also carries the risk of potentially unlimited losses if the price rises.

2. Options Trading:

Options contracts give you the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a stock at a specific price (the strike price) on or before a certain date (the expiration date).

Call options: If you anticipate a stock’s price to rise, you can buy call options, which give you the right to purchase the stock at the strike price.

Put options: If you anticipate a stock’s price to fall, you can buy put options, which give you the right to sell the stock at the strike price.

Options trading allows you to speculate on price movements with limited risk (your loss is limited to the premium you paid for the option).

3. Derivatives:

Derivatives are financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset (like a stock).

Other derivatives include futures contracts and forward contracts, which are agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price on a future date.

These instruments can be used to speculate on price movements or hedge against risk.

The above is borrowed from Google.

People in positions of power get in at LOWER than Low prices. They get special deals before release of any information is available generally. Hell, they get in after some smart person says this stock is heading to -0-. At it’s lowest point, they make the trade without delay.

Hillary Clinton and the Cattle futures. She never lost a dime, only rode the ups, someone else the lows.

Yea. I know.
That doesn't dilute my point. Anybody with some $$ and B*lls could see this opportunity and take Full advantage of it. P.S. To your point. I have worked for many "Start Ups" the grif is the same. Insiders know the "Game". :)

Stock market is irrationally volatile due to tariff mongering. Everyone with money to invest could do what Pelosi did... which is to take advantage of the irrational fears of others.

The "smart money" people would like to thank the "stupid money" people for their big selloffs in Q1.

Thanks again RATs.
