GOOD WORK ON ALL PLATFORMS: @goodworkmb
DAN ON IG: @dhtoomey
SIGN UP FOR MORNING BREW HERE: www.morningbrew.com/daily/sub…
If you're really tired or on drugs it will look and sound like we wrote and said that Ro Khanna represents California's 17th district, not 12th, which is correct
Who is gonna pass laws to stop them 💀
This guy is doing more real reporting than the media establishment, good job
Good Work meets Bad Congress... the collab we all knew had to happen
I am on drugs so I wouldn't have noticed either way at the moment, but I'll try to remember in a few hours (I won't)
I was tired but I took a bunch of amphetamines so I'm all good now, what's a district
If athletes can’t sports bet, then politicians shouldn’t stock bet.
Honestly? Politicians trading stocks is a lot more like the referee or the commissioner of the league betting on the games
@@ChartreuseDan I only know about horse racing, but it's really similar to this insider trading but with strategic rostering who is opening up and pulling back slightly for another race. They are all friends and chat with each other while training each morning. Strategically they hold back horses if they are trying to drop them to lower leagues or save them for later races. This is coordinated between them to achieve wins. Tips are genuine things in horse racing and if you help train them, you see it all. Pretty corrupt.
Also, substance bans are updated each year and only filtered down gradually to lower leagues, so at all levels, they use not yet banned performance-enhancing drugs.
I would say it's only in the place I worked, but the phone conversations I was party to and that my cousins loved to talk, I saw it all.
In the Olympics with the Russian scandals and many other countries caught doping they do the exact same. Slightly alter drugs each year, so they are not shown as a banned substance in their system. This is a constant in high-end horse racing and with people is the same in large countries.
(Edit) Btw, their colluding was about keeping a balance of spreading wins and losses according to when they want to use the most of a horse or get a win with a worse one taking advantage of the fact the better ones are holding back.
Corrupt in itself, but from what I've seen, they don't bet and just spread the winnings more predictably, but give out tips to friends.
true, get em all on the parleys
@@ChartreuseDan Haven't watched sport in a while, but do referees get to sports bet and disqualify players / award points at will?
@@sollertia_they aren’t supposed to but they still do. The cowboys football team had some refs that were cited for that.
I will never forget when Nancy Pelosi did an interview on CNN during the height of the pandemic in her home office and told Wolf Blitzer that giving the American people $1500 as a stimulus was too much money, as she sat in front of an original De Kooning painting that was worth millions of dollars. I know that because I’m currently sitting on $29,000 worth of student loan debt for studying art history.
See this is why they don't want us to be educated. The more we know what stuff are the angrier we'd get 😂
@@vdinh143LITERALLY LMAO
And when she showed off how much “jeni’s” ice cream she stock piled for lockdown…
@jackjones4824yeah because why would you ever study something you're passionate about if it's not profitable right
The problem wasn't the stimulus checks, it was giving them to everyone by default. If they assigned them by need, people with debt like you could get more and millionaires who likely profited off the pandemic in the first place. I know plenty of people in my area who got the check and threw it away on lottery tickets and alcohol, money that could have helped charities and those in need.

You think that's crazy, wait til you find out who decided what the rules should be
I thought they meant $200K
Silly me
That's basically just 1-2 hours of "work" for them
Nancy Pelosi straight up said "the free market should favour me"
If you think it is only one side doing this you are a tool.
“Actually, I really like the status quo 😌 and money”
Why should you allowed to be able to capitalize on upcoming economic disasters and booms Nancy? Oh, bc "free market"? Gotcha. HAHA

Fully expected Dan to just stand in front of a bin on a grotty side street, look directly into the camera, say NO, and roll credits, and that would have been completely acceptable.
That would have been a weird 18 minutes
It really do be that easy.
@@alexb50 And we'd deserve every second of it
They should ve allowed to do it, vut they should be forced to publish their weekly income and outcome and that of their direct family.
Afterall their is no way we can prevent them from making money of their activities (if u forbid stock trading they will just put money in a trust and then do it over them camens)
their bank statements should be monitored and made public, their pay should be cut, and they should be forbidden from any form of stock trading. all congress members should live in the same community in the same housing modeled after low income apartments in the rest of america
This channel quickly went from “haha finance bros” to “our government is deeply corrupt and is happy to stay that way” and I’m here for it
that’s how all channels about finance bros end up going XD
The short answer is No. The long answer is No.
You mean the long answer is Noooooooooooooo
The long answer is "Fuck no!"
How about hell the fuck naw!!!
I think the answer should be "yes but it has to be an index fund anyone can invest in"
If they try to do things that enrich themselves everyone else should be able to easily get in on that. It also makes them actual civil servants doing things that help people
What if they owned VTI then they would have the incentive to improve the economy and not just their bank accounts
Morgan Stanley analysts aren’t even allowed to trade individual stocks are they? My mate works at JP Morgan and he’s more restricted than US politicians
More than no restrictions?
I’m a very low level analyst at a real estate investment firm on the marketing side and even I’m restricted on buying any stock of any of our partners or vendors. I’m a peon and am more restricted than congress
@@DogAmongMen Well yeh I just say that because I don’t know the specifics I think he can have an ETF but that’s about it
i work cyber in the industry and can confirm. we are more restricted than us politicians.
Can confirm - used to work at a small restructuring investment bank and we sometimes had public clients in bankruptcy, it was very restrictive. FINRA regulated firms who deal with public clients or public securities must bar their employees from trading individual stocks unless they get written approval from compliance, and if you are cleared (if they reply fast enough) you can only trade on that same day, otherwise you have to ask again. Basically you have little agency to time any of your trades so it can seriously disincentivize if you are trying to make a short term or time sensitive play, basically keeping you from using long term limit orders or stop losses (you have to ask permission for selling too, same process). If you are employed by one of these firms, you also have to disclose all investment accounts you have under any broker dealer and any trades you make with that broker dealer are reported to your firm. Even if you individually don't have access to MNPI (material non-public info) but your firm does because they do business with a certain publicly traded client, you will get terminated for trading without permission. One caveat is you (most of the time) can trade ETFs or indexes freely without permission, which is how it should be for congress (though they would still have skated out of the covid selloff).
It's fucking insane that the same scrutiny isn't applied, especially when they're out here convicting and fining people for insider trading (fines can be 2-3x the gain made or loss avoided for us normies). Disgusting hypocracy.
“Our lives, but more importantly, our financial market”💀💀💀
He definitely said that on purpose 😂
😂😂
I can't believe Dan graduated from having his apartment described as a place someone goes to off themselves to interviewing members of Congress. Good Work!
"Rival news TV channel 60 minutes" is a WILD statement lmfao
It's insider trading. Politicians that do this are corrupt.
and like all of them do.
@@ThePoodleeven the ones in this video trade on the low lmao
That isn't what insider trading is.
“Drank some coffee, black, and hopped on a hound, grey…”
Some of you folks say the most darnest things at times, joke or not. May God bless your hearts.
In Norway we recently had a scandal where the husbands of two politicans had traded stocks. Since they could potentially have gotten info from their spouse it was a big deal and one of them quit their job because of it. Politicans straight up trading themselves is insane 🤯
Wait, how is this allowed at all?
I see you, Representative Jon Ossof
@@shikharrajeI'm sure he's a Senator, not a Rep. I think he was elected during the GA special elections that gave Democrats their majority
I think the obvious solution is to pay politicians more. Poor guys, need to run side hustles.
Definitely, removing a lot of public programs would definitely be necessary to help our starving senators.
Unironically this would be a good solution. It's kind of crazy that members of congress make less money than your average director at a private company. Given how expensive it is to live part-time in DC your average representative actually is house poor if they don't have a "side hustle" and this incentivizes them to look for opportunities to profit instead of just doing their job.
@@dkizzle3135they are supposed to be public servants. Innumerable benefits come from the fame and notoriety good public service can provide. Just ask yourself if you'd agree to serve as senator right now for a salary of $0, and you'll understand.
Maybe the people who serve the interests of the nation should be the kind of people who do the job for the sake of being public servants instead of people who want the position so they can become rich@@dkizzle3135
To be fair that is what Singapore does. Their president has the highest salary of any democratically elected official in the world, but Singapore is not a nation to seek political guidance considering they are a pseudo-dictatorship.
The people who have the power to change it - directly profit from it.
That means it will not change.

The ruling class may offer us concessions, but we will never get what we want. So, what is to be done? We, as the working people, the ones who built the towers where the trade, paved the runways where their private jets land, and the ones who filled their stomachs, must become the ruling class ourselves, as some have called before, a "dictatorship of the proletariat". For context, what we live in now is referred to as a "dictatorship of the bourgoeise"

Hi, I'm a uni student interested in consulting and was wondering if I could talk to you and ask you a few questions?
Short answer, no.
Long answer, noooooooooooooo
The answer to the question “why can politicians trade stocks?” Is “no”?
@@Notimportant253
Video title used to be, "Should politicians trade stocks."
There's a longstanding joke in Journalism that "When you see any headline that's phrased as a yes/no question, the answer is probably 'No.'"
I'm really hoping this video holds to the pattern.

hahaha
Can confirm. This guy is my representative (despite my best voting efforts) and I've witnessed this dialogue box first hand
why do people vote for npc's lol
@@michaelsmith953if you say nothing then no one can disagree with you
The only problem, Nancy, is when _you_ and your colleagues participate in the stock market, it’s no longer a free market economy. It’s a manipulated oligarchy.
@jackjones4824I mean, I agree with the sentiment, but it is also a question of raising outside capital. A loan is not necessarily the best tool in every instance
@jackjones4824 that's the most diplomatic way of saying "seize the means of production" that I've ever heard.
@jackjones4824 I'm too uneducated to offer a nuanced answer. I have read that capitalism has a bigger body count than communism, and found the arguments compelling. I've also dabbled in the history of the Soviet Union and I know for a fact that American efforts at regime change played a big role in their failure.
@jackjones4824 my reading suggests that colonialism was the mother of capitalism. The book "Empire of Cotton" goes into great depths into this, focusing on how English State Power appropriated wealth from the colonies using private actors who were then allowed to concentrate that capital and ultimately usurp power from the state.
I agree there are a lot of intersecting Venn diagrams if we dive deeper into this topic. Again, I am not educated enough to even attempt an answer. I have my world view and, in it, capitalism isn't the holy saviour it's made out to be.
@jackjones4824This is the funniest yet saddest thing about the American people. They are perhaps the most socialist people in the world, yet are too naïve to realise it. They have been taught their entire life that socialism is an evil thing, because it is in their best interests to make sure it never happens, as socialism will give the power to us people instead of them.
Also, i see you mentioned that we shouldn't jump to Soviet style communism - completely true. Different economic systems function differently based on the material conditions, At that time, the USSR was a third world country in crisis with millions dead recovering from a civil war, over time, it became a first world country, reaching space, and briefly surpassing the USA economically in 1983 despite having a planned economy.
Of course, it's not just about the material conditions, mistakes obviously must be acknowledge lest we repeat them.
Short answer: NO
Long answer: NOPE
Bro, that that congressman going on a rant at 4:43 was hilarious. It’s just so funny how hollow some of people in congress are lol.
"Oh, so like, you don't rant about the border because it's a pressing issue. There's literally no room in your head for any other thoughts"
I don't think that guy is hollow. He's supporting a bipartisan issue. He needs his voters (who are probably massive bigots) to not think that he isn't a bigot. It's his way to re-affirm that and ensure he's on their good sides. Really shrewd imo.
@@ChasmChaosconsidering the reason he’s there has f*ck all to do with immigration and he barley even got a word out before he went on that rant, it’s like he’s an AI robot with human skin stapled to it with prerecorded responses to make the plebs he’s trying to manipulate into empowering him cheer him on.

Recently bought some recommended stocks and now they are just penny stocks. There seems to be more negative portfolios in the last 3rd half of 2023 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?
Just ''buy the dip'' man. In the long term it will payoff. High interest rates usually mean lower stock prices, however investors should be cautious of the bull run, its best you connect with a well-qualified adviser to meet your growth goals and avoid blunder
The truth is that this is really not as difficult as many people presume it to be. It requires a certain level of diligence, no doubt, which is something ordinary investors lack, and so a financial advisor often comes in very handy. My friend just pulled in more than $84k last month alone from his investment with his advisor. That is how people are able to make such huge profits in the market
nice! once you hit a big milestone, the next comes easier.. who is your advisor please, if you don't mind me asking?

She isn't a civil servant she's a feudal master.

"The freer the market the freer the people" Yeah, right. But the freer the market got, the worse the people's lives got...
@@TennesseeJedaka capitalist
@@tempejkl what actually matters is an efficient market, it's just that most interventions make it less efficient. This is a case where "free" is actually hurting efficiency. Letting people trade on private info strongly hurts the market, leading to less liquidity, hesitant investors, and money stolen from everyone else.
Under the SEC regulation, private officials are brought to justice when they commit insider trading. So, why is not the very same law applied to public officials, when everything else but the title, stays the same?
Because the point of political power is to exercise it and get more capital. People act like capitalism is pure and shouldn't be mixed up with dirty politics. The whole point of power is to exercise it.
@@ChasmChaos 🤣👍🏻
It's nuts.
It seems crazy that this is even a debate. Of course they shouldn't be allowed to trade stocks
But obviously the invisible hand of the market will work around them and minimize their profits. In the end, our system will work as intended. The current things that are happening definitely aren't the system working as intended. Nope. Definitely not. Nuh-uh.
It isn't a debate. There's no arguments for the other side. It's just a matter of Congressional leadership doesn't want to do it because they like money.

2:22 every time John Rose is mentioned anywhere, I am morally compelled to remind the world that he met his wife when he was in his early 40s and she was 17.

Her college education was paid for through a scholarship named in honor of his parents, at the same university where he was the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Hella creepy and I’m not necessarily defending it, but they’ve now been married for over a decade and have two children. We don’t know what goes on behind closed doors, but from the outside it seems like it’s working for them and they’re happy. Just gotta hope it continues that way.

I loved the "I probably have more followers than you." and the look on Dan's face. Power move little buddy.
Even better that it’s true (at least on twitter!)
I'm a low-level employee and even I have to deal with specific trade windows if I get equity, and if I were to know ANYTHING about the company that can affect the stock price, I have to report it and go through a special process to buy or sell the stock. But the people who literally make decisions about not just one company, not just one industry, but the entire economy, have no restrictions. Seems legit.
Speaking of buying groceries this year, my sister, my nephew, and I received notices that we all have to purchase rental insurance this year. I contact my property manager, and I tell her you know that I cannot pay the rent without help from the state and now you’re demanding that I purchased rental insurance, she replied it’s no more than $10 or $15 a month and I said that’s coming out of my food budget which does not last the month now
Ahhh, capitalism. Same in my country, my friend. On a €200k per year salary, you still cannot afford any home. How crazy is that? Minimum wage is 5.30 too, it's probably worse here than in USA.
5:00 this moment had me completely baffled because yea why the fuck did he open a conversation that had nothing to do with the border on this

Slight correction Rep. Ro Khanna is from district 17 of California, not 12
hmm, i think you are either really tired or on drugs
If they perscribe index funds to the general public, politicians should lead by example and only be allowed to invest in index funds.
I believe that Ro Khanna represents California District 17, not District 12 (Barbara Lee)

You were in DC and didn't tell me? I would have invited you to a feast

"Our lawmakers in Congress need to know as much as possible about the stuff that's going to impact our lives... but more importantly, our financial markets" 😂😂😂😂
You've really been hitting it out of the park with these mini-docs man, well done, such important content
The multiple failures of these bills makes me think that they’re more about political posturing than about enacting real change. It takes relatively little effort to throw together superficially groundbreaking legislation, only to shrug your shoulders when it immediately dies during voting. The politicians get to look like they’re fighting the good fight for their citizens, while maintaining a status quo that clearly benefits only them.
The bill to ban TikTok went from introduction to a vote within 1 week. The true reason being that the US cannot allow a massively popular social media platform with an independent algorithm that prioritizes non-State sponsored media to exist. When it truly matters, the political machinery can really haul ass.
"If voting actually changed anything, they'd do away with it"
7:10 This!! Thank you for such good reporting! It's nice to see finally people focusing on the right things and shining a light on obscure topics
Just want to throw in a little note for Dan & co: I saw the podcast from a few months ago with (ahh I forget who hosted) where you were talking about shooting on iPhones and how it related to the unique style of this channel. I noticed the bump in camera quality from this video, and although I think it represents an evolution in your style, I like it. Good cameras and the increase in in-person interviews are changes that I’ve liked, and I don’t think they ruin the style you guys have going on. Keep it up!
If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a big mistake.I realize that it could be due to inexperience, but if you want to make your finances work for you, prevent inflation from eroding your savings, build generational wealth, and cultivate good habits and financial knowledge, you must be in the market.
The wisest thought that is in everyone's minds today is to invest in different income flows that do not depend on the government, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver and digital currencies (BTC, ETH... Stock)

The answer is no, conflict of interest.
I think they SHOULD be allowed to trade, BUT they must announce what they are buying 30 days in advance publicly. Right now, they have to disclose 45 days AFTER the trade.

Thank you for bringing this up! You are doing great work!

I don't think anyone in their extended family should be able to trade
How is that fair to their extended family? They have no say in what their family does for a living. I think there should just be much stricter insider trading monitoring
The ban should also includes trading under a small corporations or trust !!!!!
@@steflift5165Why does anyone need to trade? A company should be owned by it's workers, not lazy people who don't work
I think members of congress should be able to trade on index funds or wide market accounts. Especially since it incentives them to ensure the total US economy is healthy rather than individual companies.
Or just put their assets in a managed trust, this is what we ask presidents to do with any companies they have during office.
I can’t put a finger on your journalism style, but it is absolutely brilliant and so well done. Discovered you after your video on I-Banking. Great work!
You're doing these reports so well man, keep them coming! Love the style
There's absolutely no reason why legislators should be investing in anything more specific than total and "maybe" broad market index funds.
My belief is that federal politicians should make $500,000/year with the stipulation that they hold no job in office, can't work as a lobbyist for a minimum of five years (essentially killing that career option for all but a few), can't trade stocks themselves, and the investments of their immediate family members are public record while making insider trading illegal for them.
Yes, there definitely is wiggle room for cheating, but it's much harder, and the role of plausible deniability narrows drastically.
Nah, they should make minimum wage so that they have to actually increase minimum wage to a livable amount.
@@cron1807 the only people in congress would be independently wealthy if that was the case
@@NotTehJonThe mindset of consistency and grit required to become independently wealthy (assuming they're not born into generational wealth) is what Congress needs.

It's almost like politicians forget that they are public SERVANTS their job is to SERVE us in OUR best interest
Except that as long as we live in a society dominated and driven by money public servants and representatives will never be more incentivized to act in the public interest than in that of moneyed interests.

I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Michelle Stewart.
Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing her been mentioned here also Didn’t know she has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, I'm in my fifth trade with her and it has been super.
The very first time we tried, we invested $1000 and after a week, we received $4830. That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills.
You trade with Michelle Stewart too? Wow that woman has been a blessing to me and my family.
I'm new at this, please how can I reach her?
I was skeptical at first till I decided to try. Its huge returns is awesome. I can't say much
Not if they are related to foreign companies like Israeli weapons manufacturers
Yeah no trading with war criminals!!!
Good work 👍
REALLY interesting how the Dems spoke about it in terms of unfair self-enrichment, while the Rep spoke of it in terms of it impacting Decision making. Gotta hand it to Scott Perry that his take was a lot better. Damnit!
Thank you Lord Jesus for the gift of life and blessings to me and my family $14,120.47 weekly profit Our lord Jesus have lifted up my Life!!!🙏❤️❤️
