    Yeah as much as I’d like to hate on the American justice system this is a nothingburger. My retirement account probably has Boeing in it too considering I set it to buy the S&P 500 and never thought about it again.

        If only. Things would go a little different.

        No, my point is that unless you’re day trading, chances are you just use an index fund and have virtually no control over what you’re investing in.

          If the judge has no control, how did he buy and sell the stocks? He (or his wife) was “advised” completely independent of the case he’s on?

          Pelosi’s husband makes a lot of stock moves too.
