    I’m surprised everyone focuses on insider trading. To me the much bigger risk is: shouldn’t your decisions affecting the country be unaffected by stocks you own? If you own $10 million of Apple stock for example, how does that affect your vote on an antitrust law? This is a problem even if there’s no inside information.
