Members of Congress Buy and Sell Stocks. These ETFs Let You Invest Like Democrats or Republicans.
Politicians -- they're just like us! (Sort of.) They buy cars like we do and eat at restaurants like we do, and they often buy or sell stocks, too, just like we do. (On occasion, of course, they may be doing so with what some consider inside information, which would make their trading problematic.) But much of their trading is likely to be simply because they are bullish or bearish on various companies' prospects.
Some members of Congress have done quite well, too -- even notching triple-digit gains last year. If this all has you wondering just what they're buying and selling and whether you might invest similarly, you can. Here's how, and why you might not want to.
