The fact that this video only has a 100k views rn is very sad. This should’ve been a huge story. Everyone in America needs to see how corrupt these politicians really are.
It was when 60 Minutes broadcast this show. Move forward to now Jan 2022 - some Progressives & MAGA supporters want a bill to stop all trading by Congress. This is unlikely to happen.
I think most people know about the insider trading of their politicians, but they don't really care. As long as the trading doesn't hurt them, most people don't care.
Views are low on videos like this one because such videos don't appeal to the masses. UA-cam videos with the most views are not factual, informational or educational videos. They are music videos - e.g. Baby Shark Dance or Despacito. That tells you a lot about the kind of people who spend the most time on UA-cam.

When the record was made public in October 2020 that the Pelosis bought up to $1,000,000 of Crowdstrike shares, I doubled my position. It was _BY FAR_ the best trade I made in all of 2020. It's up almost *300%* since then - in less than a quarter of a year. They recently bought call options on Tesla and Apple, and shares in ticker AB (some financial institution). If you were smart, you would buy the same things they do. Hundred-millionaire insiders _never lose._
Our politicians have to be stopped from directly or indirectly having conflicts of interest on trading or passing bills ,laws etc... for their personal and corperate agendas.
Some live check to check like the rest of us at $174,000 a year. So like the rest of us poor folk they find a way to commit crime, but they get away with it. I bet the days before 911 a lot of money was moving.
Eddie P, Wikipedia: The STOCK Act was modified on April 15, 2013, by S.716. This amendment modifies the online disclosure portion of the STOCK Act, so that some officials, but not the President, Vice President, Congress, or anyone running for Congress, can no longer file online and their records are no longer easily accessible to the public. In Section (a)2, the amendment specifically does not alter the online access for trades by the President, the Vice President, Congress, or those running for Congress. The reasoning for this change was to prevent criminals from gaining access to the financial data and using it against affected persons. This bill was introduced by Senator Harry Reid on April 11, 2013. It was considered by the Senate and passed by unanimous consent. In the house, S.716 received only 14 seconds before being passed by unanimous consent.
@@eddiep8122 wow yup you're right. Representitives' trade disclosures are no longer freely available online. Now they're in a private database. But at least insider trading is still illegal
When Loeffler assumed office, she immediately became the wealthiest member of Congress. The Atlanta businesswoman, whose husband is the chairman and CEO of the New York Stock Exchange, has a fortune estimated at $500 million. From the beginning of her tenure, she has faced scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest. Her position on a Senate subcommittee that oversees futures markets “gives Kelly Loeffler a direct position in overseeing her and her husband’s financial enterprises,” Craig Holman, lobbyist for the ethics group Public Citizen, told the Atlanta Journal Constitution in February. “I find it utterly irresponsible the Senate would choose to put Loeffler on that committee, given her conflicts of interest.” Unlike other senators, Loeffler’s finances are directly tied to her electoral fate. She has pledged to spend $20 million on her bid to hold on to her seat when she faces voters for the first time this November.
It is so rare to see real journalism these days, I am impressed by this. Impressed that the odd senator is above corruption, and not really surprised by the rest. Clearly I have a very low opinion of most news agencies and politicians. But it is cool when you see some that work as they should.

This video was from 2011 and the STOCK Act was passed by Congress in 2012 that prevents insider trading. Might be worth mentioning this somewhere in the video description
Anyone who works from the US Government can only invest in a retirement plan called a ThrIft Savings Plan. There is NO TRANSPARENCY for the underlying investments in the "C Fund", "G Fund", "I Fund", " S Fund", etc. A publicly-traded mutual fund must disclose all of the underlying holdings in every fund.
And let me guess. Thrift Savings Plan has never been audited by a 3rd party since it's inception. Am I right? Just like we can't audit the spending by DOD and other government agencies even though they are using taxpayer dollars and are elected by the taxpayers. They are elected to represent us (i.e. American citizens) and we should demand better transparency and accountability.
@60 minutes don't you think it's a bit irresponsible posting this 8 years later, considering President Obama signed the Stock Act into law in April 2012?
If you read the bill, it’s almost a joke.. it states that a government official must report all trades they PERSONALLY make. However, if they invest into a hedge fund and that hedge fund makes the trade, then it does not need to be reported.... So if that very hedge fund gets a “hunch” (a little birdie tells them some inside info) and makes a trade, not only does the government official and the hedge fund make a lot of money, but nothing gets reported that a trade was made... only to the SEC, aka the government. It’s a political paradox.
👍 Tivon Sterin, I agree that it seems irresponsible to post this without an updated explanation at the end of this excerpt that is from an old 60 Minutes episode.
How they didn't get locked up is nothing short of incredible. Rich and connected people are above the law EXCEPT when they start screwing each other over (i.e. Madoff)
6:20 haha no. Blind trusts are not good enough. Full liquidation of all assets except for the standard things like a family home. If you are doing the job to serve the public, loosing out on a few years of profit should not be a problem (especially given the reasonable salary)
Are members of congress also shorting stocks? Do all members of congress and the president get access to proprietary insider information? How many sitting members of congress or their staff get access to insider information? Why doesn't insider trading rules apply to everyone who has access to insider information? This is hypocrisy at its finest. Which congressional member stock trades contributed to a market crashes? How many shady people run for Government office strictly to gain access to insider information?.
For those of you wondering if after all this time anything has changed you would be sadly mistaken. Pelosi got caught off guard and Steve was a great reporter. Pelosi just took a huge position in Tesla all while knowing with Biden in she would get all of the EV credits out benefiting EV companies like Tesla and her bank account.
The Stock Act passed in 2012. This probably isn't as pervasive now as it was in 2011 at the time of the video. There still might be some shady deals but it doesn't affect the average citizen.
I want to know how "doing it for the pay" of $175k is not believable???? That is a damn good job by anyone's standards. NOT that I don't believe some do it because the believe in serving, but come on, that pay is plenty a motivation

get to the word of unlawful in this regard
A few years ago it was made illegal. But when it was noticed Congress and the Senate quickly voided the law.
For them or their family members. Check the trades of the husband of Pellosi , somehow he’s got a knack for successfully trading the market.
