Title: Re: this seems criminal Post by: MFAWG on July 08, 2011, 10:37:52 PM I have even less patience with left wing bull*feces* than I do right wing:
According to Dayspring, Cantor owns $3,327 in the ProShares trust. His congressional pension in the Thrift Savings Plan, on the other hand, is invested in the G Fund of government bonds and is valued at over $263,000. The value of his investment in the ProShares fund is highly variable and could change significantly if the government defaults. So he has 1 percent invested in a short position? There's plenty out there to get outraged about, this isn't even on the richter scale.

However that's literally orders of magnitude less $ involved than this Cantor (or anyone else )deal. Conflict of interest is conflict of interest.
