Don’t fall for this. Burr is a lame duck and is relatively poor, so it’s convenient to throw him overboard. Matt doesn’t have the stones or moral compass to mention the more egregious and far more dangerous Kelly Loeffler and her parasite husband Jeff Sprecher — who controls the NYSE and has a $500M net worth. |

NEW: A deep dive into Sen. Richard Burr's stock trading over eight years shows just how unusual his Feb 13 stock sell-off is. New analysis raises questions for investigators now probing the transactions.
Burr doesn't trade with high volume: between 2012 and 2019, he made on average just 3.2 stock sales transactions every quarter. But on a single day, Feb. 13th of this year, Burr made 30 stock sales. https://www.npr.org/2020/04/16/836126532/senator-burrs-pre-pandemic-stock-sell-offs-highly-unusual-analysis-shows |

I'm a nobody and from what I read about this disease in newspapers available to all I wanted to sell investments. The first I read about the coronavirus was the Washington Post article on Jan 22 [34 comments!] buried in the education on Longfellow Middle School. Some people are pessimists and some optimists and others in between. On about the 22nd Chinese parents at Longfellow would not let them on campus/homes. Info source for them included Wechat. No general screams or media articles on them staying in hotels and traipsing around. Was Burr wearing a mask and gloves? Hibernating and scuttling around to avoid any contact with others? If not then he knew about any pandemic potential but not the scope of this outrageous situation released upon all countries by China. China knew and allowed people from Wuhan out to Italy but not other areas in China. |

You think the Senate classified briefing was limited to information that the Washington Post was reporting in an article about a middle school? OK. And he downplayed the virus afterwards. |

Of course not but his timeframe on selling was what I wanted to do with my limited information. I do not think the Senate classified briefing [? plural] His Feb 13 sale was 3.5 weeks after I became aware that the coronavirus existed. CNN on Feb 1, 2020 https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/31/asia/wuhan-coronavirus-update-intl-hnk/index.html " ...growing trend, however. The US ban comes after Singapore banned all visitors from mainland China, saying anyone who had been in the country in the past 14 days will not be able to visit or transit through the city state. Taiwan has also suspended visa applications for Chinese nationals, and banned entry to any from Hubei province." One doesn't need o have access to classified briefings to want to sell based on the potential chaos. You can always buy again-perhaps pay more or less. Burr's sale was 12 days after this CNN article which is just one similar in content from that time. Sell or not sell at that point? I don't see what Burr did as insider info since I wanted to divest earlier that month. |

| And Burr's brother in law, a Trump appointee, gets snagged for dumping stocks. Oops. |

Just like the last Democrat you guys tried to smear: “Aaron Hunter, a spokesman for Davis, said a third party handles her portfolio. “(She) does not play a role in the purchase or sale of her stocks,” Hunter said.” |
