I believed these stories for a long time until I learned that Nancy Pelosi did not outperform the S&P.
Comment on Nancy Pelosi's husband sold more than $500K in Visa stock ahead of DOJ action
hibsen@lemmy.world 1 month agoAre you the only one in here who bothered to look? I saw your comment and decided to look, too, and unless I’m reading this wrong, you’re right and I don’t understand the point of this story.

She did outperform the s&p. She crushed it. She beat Warren Buffett as well

Keyword being did. If you pick the right window of my stock portfolio you could say the same thing.
When one wants to be upset and it’s easiest to be upset about things one doesn’t understand. When someone else starts pulling the levers of one’s misunderstandings, they become a tool.

Historically she has beat the S&P and Warran Buffet. It isn’t a small window, it is for years.
One could only dream of that type of performance. It is why there is a bill in play to stop this.

Republicans are obsessed with pelosi owning stocks as if she’s the only person in Congress who does it. I guess it takes the heat of everyone else… I read a list of the top 10 stock owners and profit makers in Congress, one of course the top ones were republicans.

Wahh, wahh, wahh…maybe get back to us when there’s a recognizable politician making more money from stock trading than her!

“Waahhh” huh? What a ridiculous reply.
Okay, how’s Tommy Tuberville? But who cares. I’m not visiting your “x” link but sources I’ve seen don’t even have pelosi in the top 10. Republicans are just obsessed with attacking her even now that she’s not Speaker. Talk about “waahhh”. That’s fine, if you want to engage in massive hypocrisy, wring your hands about imaginary problems and pretend everything bad is democrats, that’s very on brand for conservatives.
Anyway, yes, you should be concerned about ethical lapses of Congress members even if you don’t recognize their names.

Discussed Republican propaganda, there hasn’t been a year where Pelosi was number one since prior started keeping an eye on her moves and she’s always getting beat by a bunch of Republicans no one cares about.

Nothing disguised about it

Considering that most people don’t realize that she’s not #1 and that she even got beat by the S&P in 2022, I think it’s fair to say that it’s pretty well disguised
