NOTE: from 11:10 to around minute 18 we loosely use the term “insider trading.” This use was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. “Insider trading” is a technical term of art and refers to the illegal use of non-publicly available information to make trades ahead of the markets and thereby gain unlawful advantage over the public at large. See Investopedia.com. As used in this podcast, we in no way intended to disparage anyone’s character, reputation, or impugn or defame their good name(s). In fact, some insider trading is actually legal—such as that going on in our tracking, if at all. Id. So, at most, we only intended to note for our audience the curious coincidences of the fact that public figures in Congress have very good financial advisors who pick great stocks with impeccable timing, obtain great returns, and we intended to point out the fact that we follow them by tracking public disclosures filed by these public figures to show their financial portfolios, as required by law. So, please, no one have a cow by taking us literally!
