ChargePoint: Insider Selling Hints At Limited Upside

Image
  ChargePoint insiders have filed to sell up to 13.8 million shares. These selling shareholders will still control ~140 million shares after the offering, placing a cap on the stock until more selling is done. The stock remains insanely expensive at 17x FY24 sales targets. Looking for more investing ideas like this one?

Why is Congress Still Allowed to Own Stocks?

Not only why are members of Congress allowed to own stocks, but why are they allowed to trade while serving in Congress? These guys have insider information and the ability to sway the political direction. Why are they allowed to gain from that? How many decisions are made based off investments? Is that why coal seems to be favored over natural gas? Or why certain companies are brought to the capital for 'investigations'? Maybe certain politicians were short these stocks and wanted a catalyst to send them lower. Great interview with former high flying lobbyist Jack Abramoff with insights on Congress and investing. Why is this still legal?
