Israel vs Hamas (2 Viewers)

[GrandAdmiral]

Looks like the fight is on with Israeli soldiers and civilians amongst the dead already. Question becomes, how long before we get dragged into this?

Netanyahu says Israel is ‘at war’ after Hamas launches surprise attack, takes hostages | CNN

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the country was “at war” on Saturday, after Palestinian militants in Gaza fired a deadly barrage of rockets and sent gunmen into Israeli territory in a major escalation of the long running conflict between the two sides.

Everyone needs to pick a side I suppose.

Aren't even most illegal immigrants visa overstays? I remember looking at this years ago, and being shocked at the number of people who came on a plane, and never left.

Yeah, they received a temporary visa and scattered in the wind before their court dates.

A good number of cruise ship workers that dock in New Orleans never get back on the boat to return to work.

It is all shocking, and reason to get our immigration house in order.

So, you could probably add anyone to that list that either: owns a diversified stock portfolio, or owns shares of a diversified fund.

You could add my name and probably your name to that list.

What is your point?

Oh, and “BREAKING” lol. That is hilarious since the only way I know of that this list could be composed is from their periodic disclosure forms. That guy is so precious….

I hadn’t seen a similar report posted, so yeah, it’s breaking.

The interesting thing about those listed (unlike you and I) is they are able to trade in inside information. I look forward to Unusual Whales report, and the reporting of when those individuals legged into those positions.

I guess Bibi just needs a final solution to the Palestinian problem.

How meta: Israelis as Nazis. But we know that if that was the case, they'd have finished by now, and in the process, come up with a cure for cancer.

Yeah, they certainly would have razed all of Gaza to the ground pretty quickly. And West Bank. And even Golan Hieghts. They have the capabilities to do it if they wanted to.

They are Nazi's in my book for what they have done to Gaza in just the past few days.

What's the implication? So because they directly benifit from those stock positions, that means that ....?

How are they defining "directly benefits"?

What’s the implication? What do you think the implications are? Do you think they are hoping that the war machine gets shut down?

I don’t understand why folks are up in arms here. Politicians being labeled as war profiteers is a bad thing now? Is this not upsetting to you?

I should look for a nice Ilhia Omar quote to bring us all together. Lol

Everyone is a Nazi these days. It’s so en vogue.

Sorry, but no...not even close.

When Unusual Whales can show insider trading, then he has “breaking”. Sorry - he probably culled this list from public information that is months old. He doesn’t define “directly benefits”, he doesn’t provide a source - I’m presuming it’s public information or how else did he get it?

His tweet is dumb.

Sorry, but no...not even close.

It's closer than you think. Nazism/Fascism are very difficult to pin down. However there are very distinct characteristics...and it doesn't have to be centered around anti-Semitism.
1. Ultra-nationalism. Imma bet they have this checked.
2. Militaristic. Yeah, Imma bet their military is central to their society.
3. Racial superiority. Yeah, have you seen how they treat Palestinians?
4. Disregard for human rights. Have you seen how they indiscriminately grab and kill Palestinians? There are vids out there. Have you seen them walk the streets calling for deaths to Palestinians? Yep. Settlers have been brutalizing those residents in the West bank.
5. Autocracy. Well not quite there, but moving there.
6. Central dictator/cult leader. Not quite there.
7. Common enemy. Yeah?
8. Expansion for the superior race to grow. Yeah? (Ethiopia - italy and Eastern Europe - germany)
9. Central religion. You think?
10. Control of mass media. Probably not.
11. Cronyism and preferential treatment of industrialists? Idk....well if netanyahu has his way.

These are just some traits that comes to mind. So apart from the antisemitism, and let's replace Jews with Palestinians...I'm sure we can see some similarities.

But let's be clear here, they do have the right to defend themselves...but not to exterminate every living soul in Gaza. I've seen comments such as, we have unleash our military. If heads pop out we shoot. No more rules.

Unusual Whale’s work was cited by Ro Khan A’s in his recent plan to ban stock trading. So yeah, I believe his reporting a bit more than others.



You can actually track the trading patterns of members of Congress.

Unusual Political Trading

Track unusual house, senate, SCOTUS investing, and corporate lobbying for free using unusualwhales.com, as well as deep dive in the most unusual of trading + political deals. The go to place to see everything in finance, politics, investing, and options.

unusualwhales.com

So in due time he will probably roll out the numbers…kind of like how this guy is able to track all of sloppy Nancy’s trading patterns.



Anyway, I digress. I hate people profiting off of the war machine.

So I agree about the stock trading and public officials. But people (normal people) trade all the time. Without context, you don’t know that any of the Pelosi trades just mentioned were in any way insider trading. My broker makes trades at least once a week, and I’m relatively small potatoes. Every week, and I never try to guide his moves.

This guy’s website just lists their trades that they report and calls them all “insider trades”. How are they insider? This is just public information - labeled by him as “insider” without any proof. Does he disclose where he gets his info? How is it reporting when he has simply compiled public info? Unless there is more to it than what I saw on his website.

Also - these trades are old by the time they are published so any claim that “you can trade like Pelosi” is just stupid.

I’m on board with getting rid of their ability to trade individual stocks, but these accounts seem just frivolous jokes.

I forgot where I got this info..perhaps an NPR story...most reps lose money when they trade. They perform worse with inside trading than regular trades from regular folks. I'll go search for it sometimes.

Edit..yeah I'm not going to sit through these results. It was a guest interview on the topic of congressional stock trading I listened while in the car and the guest made that point.

But here is one abstract:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0047272722000044

On average Senators and House Members buy stocks with characteristics similar to those in the CRSP Index while achieving slightly worse performance before transaction costs. When we look at the most frequent traders there

I remembered his argument was much more convincing backed by his numbers.

Edit: found it. not if its the same show.

MAK: You know, there were studies, like, 15-plus years ago that said that lawmaker trades outperformed the S&P 500. But more recently, if you look at academic research that's been done over the last 10 years or the last few years, what you find is that, like, by and large, lawmakers do not make good stock picks. What the research does show, though, is that people are paying attention to congressional stock disclosures. I talked to one professor at Augusta University who found in his research that when these stock disclosures get released, put out into the public on the web, the stocks that were traded or bought get a bump in price - an unusual bump in price - and actually trade higher than you'd otherwise expect them to.
