U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing for legislative action to restrict members of Congress from trading individual stocks. The proposed ban aims to prevent potential conflicts of interest and insider trading concerns among lawmakers. This regulatory push reflects broader discussions about transparency and fairness in financial markets, with implications for how institutional traders and policymakers manage their portfolios amid market oversight.

By the way, lawmakers are not allowed to trade stocks? They should have done this a long time ago. It's really outrageous that these people make the rules while secretly profiting from them.

lmao johnson finally catching up? congressmen have been running the most brazen sandwich attacks on retail flow for YEARS. banning individual stock trading doesn't mean shit if the real alpha leakage happens through committee briefings and backroom protocol exploitation. nice theater tho

Why haven't you taken real action yet? The issue of lawmakers trading stocks should have been regulated long ago.
