Everyone invested in Gilead around that time. They were betting on them being the first with a vaccine because of their success with chicken viruses if I recall correctly.

Not familiar with it. Either way people are always looking for edge. Sometimes it pans outā¦other times it doesnāt.
Itās nature of the game.

It wasnāt my idea.
I ask the lady what looks good, she gives me a list, and I choose like a big dumb ape. I give her some money, and she rolls the dice for me. Iāve thought about using robinhood or ameritrade, but I really need someone to blame it on if things go badly, for my marriage.

Waitā¦libs think this is news? Maybe they need to look into a few other congresscritters.
Bet you will find a few high fallutinā dems on the list as well as reps who have invested in certain stocks lately.
Cast the first stone baby.

congresspeople and senators should be banned from buying individual stocks.
and if they are caught trading on non public knowledge they should be fined 3x the amount of the investment. not just on any profits or losses. invest 15k and lose 5k on insider knowledge you are fined 45k (plus any other criminal penalties)

You OK with that?
