Naw, people would have to give up the my side isn't as bad as the other side routine, and I am not sure most are able anymore.

Very hard to prove if they were just selling stock because they think the market is taking a down turn, and if they did it after even a hint was known outside of their inter circle, not sure how the one selling real estate fits, but anyhow, people usually get caught by buy or selling based on one companies insider information and not a whole market change as the reason.

I find it more disturbing that life long politicians have millions in stock to begin with. That's the problem with our government in a nutshell.

Yes. Who is the trust manager for her money?

Her husband. But no worries. I'm sure she NEVER talked to him about money matters and what she heard in classified briefings. No way.

If Martha Stewart had to pay the price, so do these duds.

For those who just need to find a little humor in the world this Sunday morning.
