...because at the beginning of any big change, trading jumps up when people start dumping stock, causing a temporary jump in pricing. She could serve to create herself a lot of money.

...or, it could be said that she was not implementing plans to cuff the tobacco industry, because she was making money off of allowing them to continue unabated. It is just stupid for her to own any stocks for a company that she is involved in regulating.

I think she's stupid because she's a Government Employee. But hey, I'm probably stupid because I'm one of her subjects.

When stocks are dumped, prices go down. At least in our economy, for the most part, at this point in time, to be best of my recollection.

or profiting from a government that practices ethnic cleansing?

You are correct, (once again, my poor choice in words) in most instances, But there have been times when there have been spikes. I can't imagine there being a massive dump, like everyone would want to stop buying cigarettes, so there will be people who always who will want to have their stock. But, anyways... I just meant to say that someone who regulates an industry, shouldn't have a share in the companies that she regulates.

"should"? :|
Would you draw the line at say, gold teeth from concentration camps, or profiting from a government that practices ethnic cleansing?

He can't answer to your question because he is not a member anymore. Closing this one down.
