It is time to ban stock trading for members of Congress.
Despite the market having the worst year since 2008, Members of Congress once again beat the market.
The S&P 500 was down 18% in 2022. Democrats were only down 1.76% and Republicans were up .389% on the year.
On average, Democrats were down -1.76% in 2022, whereas Republican members were up +0.4%.
Meanwhile, the S&P500 itself was down 18% in 2022.
Like in 2021, politicians beat the market.

…
Pelosi also added a 50k interest in an LLC called REOF LLC, bringing the total REOF investment to around 350k. Ultimately, Pelosi’s strategies worked well in 2020-2021, but failed as interest rates rose.
