    So you like conspiracy theories?

    Try this one:

    Al Gore purchased 59 thousand shares of Apple stock for $7.45 per share when the going price was 10X that much and is now 20X. Lucky or inside trading???

    Reminds me of Hillary making $100k on beef futures. She dabbled only the one time into commodities and quit. Lucky or inside trading???

    You're smart enough to know that if we tug on this loose thread that we will find this sort of thing across the political spectrum.

    So what is your point?

      So apparently you're comfortable with this! The point is that the regular joe, like you and me, aren't important enough to get insider information, only the connected ones I suspect do!

          Actually she was imprisoned for lying to investigators and obstructing justice. If she had not lies to investigators she would have walked.

            I wonder why RED singled out two Democrats who have been out of politics for at least a presidential cycle and overlooked any of a number of recently serving Congressfolk, who also happened to be Republicans in office while scoring sweet portfolios.

            So someone needs to explain to me exactly what the problem is here.

            Remember, RED puts this in the category of conspiracy, which tells me that he's quite aware of what he's slinging here. You don't have to fall for it, especially just because I don't.
