    i was just discussing this with my son. His generation does feel it is a corruption and I thank the bipartisan approach to curbing it. I wish every state had a Senator like Jeff Merkley.

    Really appreciate the bipartisan effort, it's getting real old listening to politicians showboat and creating an "us vs them" country. Might not agree with Josh Hawley's social views, but it's great to hear he's cosponsoring this bill. Also support his hawkish approach to antitrust and the work he's done to rein in monopolies.

    Yes, I'm so done with the politician becoming rich after they are elected. I hope this gets passed.

    500$ is nowhere near enough.
    Make it HURT.
    Otherwise it simply becomes yet another "cost of doing buisness" 😢

    Thank you so much Senator Merkley for all your intelligent hard work. You go out of your way to tell the truth and you are very appreciated, there are so many lies, so much hypocracy, where is the truth.

    Start early with diversified investments in stocks, bonds, and real estate. Maximize contributions to tax-advantaged accounts like 401(k)s and IRAs. Regularly review and adjust your strategy to ensure security

      People dont understand that the prices of things are never going back down. This inflation is deeper than we think. Those buying groceries are well aware that the real inflation is much over 10%. The increments dont match our income, yet certain investors still earn over $365,000 in stocks and assets. Wish I could accomplish that.

      Very possible! especially at this moment. Profits can be made in many different ways, but such intricate transactions should only be handled by seasoned market professionals.

      Some persons think inves'tin is all about buying stocks; I think going into the stock market without a good experience is a big risk, that's why I'm lucky to have seen someone like mr Brian C Nelson.

      I'm surprised that you just mentioned and recommend Mr Brian Nelson. I met him at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.

    I agree wholeheartedly this is a common sense bill. Another thought, what about reversing the bill that allowed corporations donations to campaigns as free speech. Obviously this is a serious issue effecting our accountability in Congress and the Senate

      Because bipartisan work doesn't make the news so most Americans won't have any idea this is going on

    Proving insider trading is extremely difficult. It almost requires a confession to prove. More so difficult, when the trading involves a third party. Family and friends can benefit and share back. The practice steers funds away from the average retirement investors. Foreign investors also get into the loop.

    No, this is truly contrary to our constitutional rights. It is our right to own property, wether or not one is a government employee. Stocks, bonds, comoditys and other instruments are property and ownership. Create laws that guard against abuse but, you cannot ban ownership of property. This is not the way to do it. You call it trading, yet it represents ownership similar to owning a home.
