Actually, if you get a hot tip from a senator you probably should take it.
The paper, "Abnormal Returns from the Common Stock Investments of the U.S. Senate", by Ziobrowski et al. shows that their portfolio outperforms the market consistently.
They truly are "experts" (wink)

This guy is great. His book was pretty good at explaining economic concepts in comprehensible terms, and the show looks pretty decent too. Is it doing well?
