If companies need capital, they should raise it from people close to them who understand the operations and market, not semi-rich speculators. The whole thing becomes a pyramid scheme where "fund managers" are recruited by companies in order to recruit clueless investors (which is the only way your savings will keep up with inflation, other than buying physical metal) and then, when everything goes tits up, the government bails them out with our tax dollars.
This is a system that incentivises buying existing companies and looting them over building or growing companies.
I dont think we can put the genie back in the lamp with this one. Stock market generates wealth (though unfairly distributed) which means if we stopped foreign governments wouldn't and we would fall behind.
We could easily return to the old paradigm of stock having to return dividends at a preset rate per annum and strictly limiting the percentage of the company that can be held by other companies.
I've become a big fan of people posting the images of all the different company names in big squares going red/green and an attached Grug yelling "Goyblocks RED!!! Goyblocks GREEN!!!" No matter what they're doing, the average person's life is unaffected. There's other, more insidious poisons ruining their lives, and the market going up or down a few percent is basically irrelevant.

Grok's take on it all:
The post is real and largely accurate in its core claims, based on public data.
Post Details
Author: @Bitcoin_Teddy (Teddy, focused on culture/tech and Polymarket).
Date: July 6, 2026.
Content: A video + text thread accusing Congress of widespread "legal insider trading" via stock trades tied to their legislative work. It highlights stats like 56% of recent purchases linked to bills they vote on, 343/540 members trading, "Triple Signals," specific politicians (Pelosi, Khanna, McCaul, Suozzi, McClain), weak STOCK Act enforcement, and a stalled ban bill.
Verification
The post directly references and draws from GovGreed.com, a real platform that aggregates and analyzes public STOCK Act disclosures (required filings for congressional trades >$1,000 within 45 days), cross-referenced with bills, committees, FEC donations, etc., using a 7-layer ML model.
Key stats check out as their analysis:
Hundreds of thousands of trades analyzed (site reports ~103kâ190k disclosures >depending on timeframe).
Many members actively trade (site notes ~343 active traders aligns).
Late filings are common (thousands documented, with small $200 fines and zero >prosecutions since 2012).
High-profile examples like Pelosi's portfolio/trades, Ro Khanna's volume, McCaul's late filings, and others are based on public records.
"Triple Signals" and bill passage multipliers (e.g., 5.4x) are their proprietary scoring, but the underlying correlations (committee overlap + trades + donations) reflect well-documented issues.
Independent academic and journalistic work confirms patterns of congressional trading in regulated sectors, committee alignments, late filings, and limited enforcement of the STOCK Act. Performance studies are mixed (some outperformance pre-STOCK Act or for leaders; more recent data shows average results closer to market/retail after disclosures).
Caveats / Context
Legal but conflicted: Trading isn't illegal for members (they exempt themselves from some rules), but it creates clear conflicts. The STOCK Act aimed to increase transparency, not ban trading.
Numbers are directional: Exact percentages (e.g., 56% in last 16 months) come from GovGreed's model and timeframe. Raw public data supports widespread trading and overlaps.
Bipartisan issue: Both parties are involved; it's systemic.
The video is promotional for GovGreed but sticks to the site's data.
Bottom line: This isn't baseless conspiracy â it's a dramatic presentation of real, publicly available data on congressional stock trading conflicts. GovGreed makes it more accessible/scorable with AI. Similar trackers (Unusual Whales, etc.) exist and show the same underlying problems. Calls for a trading ban have bipartisan support but stall for obvious reasons.
It's interesting and good for everyone to know, but I'm not sure that politicians buying or selling even if they are becoming wildly rich off it are the ruin to the stock market. Even like a Pelosi who's worth, what, $500M, that money is a tiny molecule to the trillions that make up the whole market. They don't have the assets to drive the market via insider trading.
They shape it with policy, but they'd do that anyway for their benefactors who control the real volumes of money that matter.
I'd say the much much bigger problem is that the companies that make individual politicians rich get preferential legislation.
Yeah, this is part of the larger lobbying issue but, with stock trading, they've effectively eliminated any limits that could be imposed on lobbying and totally bypassed reporting requirements.
laws for thee, but not for (((me)))
Have you heard of "Q-day?"
I'm not a migatard so no.
You will

Moore's Law or something like that
Not that Q. "Q-Day" is the day that Quantum computing breaks modern cryptography and the entire finance sector collapses in the aftermath.
Is it behind the ice wall?
You'll figure it out
Then fill me in. Don't just lead people on and then never tell them anything. Would you like that?
Okay
You just outed yourself as a dumb fuck.

The very concept of stock markets cannot be saved.
Agree. Nothing good comes of them.
If companies need capital, they should raise it from people close to them who understand the operations and market, not semi-rich speculators. The whole thing becomes a pyramid scheme where "fund managers" are recruited by companies in order to recruit clueless investors (which is the only way your savings will keep up with inflation, other than buying physical metal) and then, when everything goes tits up, the government bails them out with our tax dollars.

Burn it down.
I dont think we can put the genie back in the lamp with this one. Stock market generates wealth (though unfairly distributed) which means if we stopped foreign governments wouldn't and we would fall behind.
That's not wealth. It's numbers on a spreadsheet in a database that have no intrinsic value.
Thank you. Finally someone fucking said it.
We could easily return to the old paradigm of stock having to return dividends at a preset rate per annum and strictly limiting the percentage of the company that can be held by other companies.
The term "stock" goes back to cattle and sheep. The concept of trading isn't going away nor is the idea of a publicly shared company. Learn about it.
We can make anything illegal. Anything.

It can compile and read a spreadsheet. Yay! Nothing python or any other scripting language can at 3% the cost.

Yeah that was really my point but your way of putting it is more well written.
Shes absolutely correct, too bad the dumb cunt is ignoring the ones on the left like Ro Khanna. Both sides need to hang.
