Diane Feinstein returned to Senate two months ago.

Feinstein, 89 years old, has some of the most unusual trades in Congress, over her thirty year career.

In that time, her net worth sky rocketed to over $200 million.

On July 4th, let's look back at her trading career:
In April 2018, Mark Zuckerberg testified before the Senate's Judiciary Committee, which Feinstein sat on.

But in Jan 2018, months before she bought $250,000 in FB stock.

Only in May 2018 did she disclose $META purchase.

Feinstein praised $META in the hearing and is up +70%
Feinstein reportedly attended Covid hearings by the CDC in early Jan 2020.

Literally days later, her husband sold between $1.5 & $6 million in stock Allogene Therapeutics amongst others.

The stock market collapsed shortly afterwards.

Feinstein was cleared by the DOJ.
In Dec 2009, Feinstein bought $1 million in Amyris Biotech.

It was her only transaction the entire year.

Weeks after, the company was awarded a $24 million governmental grant.

Later, Feinstein introduced her own bill that benefited Amyris Biotech without disclosing conflcits.
In Aug 2020, Feinstein’s husband purchased $50,000 in College Reaction, a private polling company.

Interestingly on Jan 6th, the day of the Capitol protest, Feinstein said the "previously unreported transaction conducted by my spouse" was not reported

She didn't pay a penalty.
In July 2011, the Postal Service entered into an exclusive contract with the real estate firm Richard Ellis Group.

Feinstein’s husband was the chairman of the company’s board of directors despite conflicts.

Her husband also served on the global development counsel for Obama.
These are some of the many examples.

Despite thirty years of incredible conflicts, Feinstein paid zero fees + broke the STOCK Act numerous times.

Her networth grew to $200 million on $200,000 salary over thirty years.

Truly unusual.

Last year, Congress continued to trade without any fear of conflicts.

For example in 2022, there were many unusually timed trades.

When someone asks you about unusual political trading or conflicts of interests last year, show them this thread:
On Feb 22, 2022, House Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene bought Lockheed Martin, $LMT, Chevron, $CVX, and NextEra Energy, $NEE.

The next day, Rep. Greene said “War and rumors of war is incredibly profitable and convenient."

Ukraine was invaded the two days later.
Numerous other politicians purchased oil and war stocks before the invasion of Ukraine.

Many were on Committees privy to info regarding the invasion, including Defense & Energy.

The positions they took have beat the market since November.

This month, Senator Thomas Carper announced his retirement.

He has been in office for 40 years.

In that time he became a multimillionaire many times over.

In fact, he was one of the best traders in Congress.

Seriously, take a look: Image
Before the vaccines were announced, Carper held $RMD, $APO, and $OHI.

On 07/09 he sold his positions in $RMD, $APO, $OHI.

Two weeks later, $RMD drops 15% on vaccine news (no need for ventilators), $APO / $OHI 10-20% over 3 months.

Now all down significantly since then.
Senator Thomas Carper bought up to $110k in Ranger Equity Bear Bear ETF, $HDGE, as well as $SH, and $PSQ, more short ETFs.

He sits on the Senate Finance Committee.

As a politician, he was actively shorting the US, and was up significantly, selling all three for large gains.

Wow.
