I disagree....

I've owned and traded DIV stocks...and IF you don't know what you are doing....which I think most politicians fit that description, they ALL are risky. That comes with the territory.

Your second point is interesting. Entry is not everything...but probably 80% of buying and selling stocks.

I can give examples....probably hundreds if you desire.

But the whole point is....Cities that are in trouble SHOULD NOT be trading stocks. Period. That's my opinion.

I think the exempt laws aren't as liberal as you think....now.

That said....doesn't stop these crooks from telling their Uncle Monty to buy or sell XXXXX stock...before they "rule" on the company XXXXX...

Apparently Bob Citron, Democrat...was out of the loop. Ha!!!

I think that they should reinvest the proceeds in carbon credits.

By definition, 50% of ALL people are below average IQ level.

No, by definition 50% are below median.

The gun stocks have almost quadrupled in 2 years, they are just cashing in on the government created crises.

Well, most voters are certainly below average, median, or just plain stupid!

Too bad for them - these are some of the strongest stocks in America, and certainly don’t need the interest of socially backward and crime-ridden cities in order to continue to thrive.
