This is key. There has to be a Chinese Wall in all cases.

"The stock trading report filed with the federal Office of Government Ethics runs more than 100 pages, and shows possibly more than $100 million changing hands over three months as stocks were bought and sold at rapid fire pace — an average of 50 trades every day markets were open."

So completely different than the congress members who are buying/selling targeted, individual stocks at carefully selected times.

I like the articles about Trump owning 11 billion shares of say Nvidia, and people like OP rush to post about it, only to find out it is all index fund exposure

Unlike Nancy's husband, who is actively targeting specific trades based on insider info.


Exactly!! Huge difference

Its not the stock trading that is the issue. Its the using insider information to trade the stocks.

This is a stupid statement. He is overall responsible. You can blame who you want though..



You have no idea how a Blind Trust works.


quote:

A blind trust is a legal arrangement where:

You put your assets (stocks, businesses, investments, etc.) into a trust.
An independent trustee takes full control over managing them.
You, the beneficiary, are intentionally kept “blind” to what the trustee is buying, selling, or holding.

The idea is to separate ownership from control.

A properly structured blind trust usually includes these features:

Independent trustee

The trustee cannot be a close family member, employee, or business partner.
They have fiduciary duties to manage the assets in the beneficiary’s interest.

No communication about trades

The beneficiary cannot direct specific investments.
The trustee generally cannot discuss ongoing investment decisions with the beneficiary.

Limited information flow

The beneficiary may still receive broad financial reports or tax documents.
But they typically do not get details about individual trades or holdings.

Discretionary control

The trustee decides what to buy or sell without approval from the beneficiary.

Legal separation

The beneficiary still owns the economic value of the assets.
But operational and investment control is transferred to the trustee.
