Westside Steve Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 this is related to Woody's question about whether or not politicians should be allowed to invest in the stock market. Should members of the news media conservative or liberal be allowed to own and trade stocks? I would venture that their editorials and stories have a lot more to do with the rise and fall of some particular Investments than any single politician. How about doctors? Should they be allowed to invest in big Pharmaceutical corporations? WSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as doctors, they don't prescribe enough pills to make any kind of difference in stocks, for goodness sakes. lol and news media? well, Having opinions on stocks when you own stocks is fine by me. No decision making there, either. If a plumber owns a lot of valuable stock, and goes online and says "this stock is terrific - you should invest in it too"... is absolutely fine. The decision making that relates to decision-maker-owned stock should be illegal. My goofy opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
