Her $ was in a blind trust. She had zero control over what was bought and sold


Her situation probably isn't different from Loefllers. Except it's a much larger % of Feinsteins net worth

Odd that Diane Feinstein isn't mentioned in here, yet her and husband sold the most stock of all right before this
I actually just opened this thread to post this.

I suppose it's possible that the reason all these politicians were selling stock in January is they thought Bernie Sanders was going to win

I'm guessing Feinstein had even less control than Loeffler. Loeffler probably didn't have a blind trust, but had it in a fund that sold the stocks without her input.  Like any mutual fund, you don't control what they buy and sell, you just control whether you own the fund. In a blind trust, you don't even know or control what funds it is in.

Burr, on the other hand has some splainin' to do.

I mean they're both women. Of course they didn't control or know what funds they're in

The drug price rose 97.86 per cent to $7.66 per 250mg pill and $19.88 per 500mg pill.

Look at the dates of the sales and the position on the tracker (you'll need to switch to the 6 month view). She didn't exactly sell top of the market, it was at a 3 month low at the time of the first sale and at the time of the second was tracking back up, she sold the second tranche at around $24 and it carried on climbing to over $28 over the next two weeks before then dropping heavily. Doesn't look too suspicious from where I am.

Not to be argumentative. But do you think it's possible that there's a legitimate reason that the price of a drug being produced in city where everything is shut down and quarantined increased by a reasonable amount?

To me this doesn't scream corrupt company price gouging insulin. But rather a company under siege in one of the most infected areas of the country, who probably has seen numerous other costs increase as well.

The company in Italy selling those ventilator valves for 4000$ when someone could 3d print them for next to nothing. That's unreasonable.

This on the other hand doesn't seem unreasonable at all, whatsoever

From what I can gather the Dem’s Coronavirus relief bill includes “$25 million for additional salary for the House of Representatives”
