JoeWeber 2,317 #1 Posted March 19, 2020 Intel Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-NC) sold between $562,000 and $1.56 million of stock, we have secrets, in one day after telling his rich Tar Heels Club friends that the Corona Virus was really, really bad. Of course, at the same time he was telling us, no worries. Time, once again, for the Republican Broom and Rug Committee to come to the rescue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it was wise financial management to dump a stock if it starts losing. I should have dumped Ford several years ago, but, no I had to maintain faith. General RoT, if your profit drops 40% sell your shares. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know what it is called and I know it is illegal. First it has to be proven, innocent until proven and all that. Second, I never could understand the law. In profit motivation the object is to get an edge. Third, the headline this AM implicated another R, from OK, and whoa. DF the darling of CA jumped on the bandwagon.

While you are correct in the idea that they are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law, the facts are pretty clear. They were briefed on the reality of the coronavirus situation. In a classified briefing. They dumped a LOT of stock immediately after. The markets tanked because of the seriousness of the coronavirus situation. How would that not be insider trading? And, in a really ironic note, Burr was one of a few who voted against the STOCK act, which banned Congresscreatures from insider trading. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're right, the irony is bigly in this one. Cause he evidently didn't give a shit about either law. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
