Dang, that guy made $7k using his secret info? Yeah, Pelosi is a lightweight compared to him, lol.

I think overall this shows that our congressmen know nothing about economics. Paulson tells him the financial system will collapse, and the dude only makes 7k? GE essentially tells him the stock will fall, and he only makes a few k? This scares me more than the trading itself.

That was actually my initial thought, lol. I don't know, maybe he isn't very liquid so he couldn't come up with anymore cash or maybe he was trying to go unnoticed.

I mean, $7k is still $7k and I can't stand the corruption, but lets at least focus on the people who have habitually raped the system. Pelosi's net worth has risen dramatically over the last few years and it irks me to no end to hear the woman talk about rich people with their yachts and jets. Honestly, what qualifies as 'rich' in her book...is it not having a net worth in the neighborhood of $60mm??

Fuckwits and pikers, every single one of them. I really hope the young people in this country (you guys) do something about these fuckin' losers. My generation has proven unwilling and incapable.

Our parents and grandparents will attempt to brainwash us into paying for their 35 year retirements, and since 50% of the populace has less than a 6th grade reading level, I wouldn't count on any change in the status quo. People don't take well to having their benefits cut, and whether we want to believe it or not, we are all the panhandlers waiting outside the urban planning and benefits office in one way or another. From the bankers to the farmers and the students who think they will be rockstars, our parents sucked the tits of government subsidies and cheap fed interest rates since the GI Bill, and there is no easy way out. Good morning Tokyo.

I take heart in the fact that so much youthful rebellion is channelled into politics. Yeah these kids don't know what the're talking about, but they're doing something, and it's just a matter of time until they figure the system out.
