This is foolish. Somebody in Congress buys a stock, this does the same and drives up the price, the member is Congress makes more money, even if the stick is not a winner.
"...shame Congress..."  Anybody else think that's not going to be a winning plan? >

About 20 years ago? Maybe. Its been a while since that was a thing. >

Is the aim really to shame them? They're going to make a fuckton of money. >


90% of it is a product that performs well and 10% of it is shaming >

Yeah that makes more sense. >

This is genius. 
Forget about shaming them. Clearly, this is simply the best way to invest. >

Insider trading without being an insider >

How can you shame people that have none? >

Won’t work . They get insider information weeks in advance. We only find out after the fact . >

But if you follow their trades, you don't act on insider information. You act on the fact that they have insider information. >

They don't have to disclose for 30 days (or 45 if it is a spouse) and late disclosure is common and virtually unpunished. Copying them isn't going to be wildly beneficial because you are copying their answers after the benefits of doing so are gone. >

You can't shame people who feel no shame to begin with. >

If Fidelity starts a Pelosi fund that mirrors her trades...I know where my 401k is getting invested. >

People think they can shame Americans when it comes to money?  lol.   If anything it will work at making these politicians more popular when the people who invested in there politically-themed investments make money.  It will be just like GME.  Instead of people being like oh shit the system is broke, they were like let's be stonks and try to manipulate the broken system. >

It will just make them richer as their trades will go in months in advance of the slower lower info money. >

I expect Republicans and their pet Federal Judiciary will find a way to call that insider trading, and DOJ will prosecute the shit out of people, while allowing Politicians to continue cheating. >

Still better to inverse Kramer
