    It’s at least the third time human remains have been recovered from Lake Mead in recent months, following two discoveries less than a week apart in May. The water levels at Lake Mead are the lowest they’ve been since the reservoir near Las Vegas was filled for the first time in April 1937 as Hoover Dam harnessed the Colorado River.
    ...
    [Lake Mead] is now 27% full. The reservoir is at top capacity when water levels reach 1,229 feet above sea level, but it is considered full at 1,219.6 feet. The reservoir last hit that top capacity in 1999. As of Tuesday, Lake Mead was about 1,040 feet above sea level. [The lowest water outlet is 895 feet above sea level].
    ...
    “In the last 1,200 years, we haven’t seen a period as dry as right now,” said Ann Willis, a researcher at the University of California at Davis. The lake supplies electricity to 350,000 homes, and is also a significant source of irrigation and drinking water to about 25 million people across the Southwest.

Is the federal government too lenient on insider trading?

428 votes, 35 comments

Context: Federal prosecutors, SEC, announce nine new insider trading prosecutions.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - Paul Pelosi, husband of Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, has consistently beaten the performance of the S&P 500 for the past 15 years and reaped 100’s of millions in option trading profits just in the past 24 months. Coincidence? Not likely. But, they’re not alone. Congress, that collective group of geniuses who can’t get anything right, beat the S&P 500 in 2021 within their personal stock portfolios. Lastly, a longstanding senior adviser to Nancy Pelosi, Jaime Lizarraga, was recently sworn in as an SEC Commissioner. Get the picture. The fox is watching the hen house.


Unsure - I agree that it seems to depend upon who is doing it and how. It looks like much of the insider trading ...



No - I have the unpopular opinion that insider trading is not a crime when committed by someone who is not an "insider" (a company’s officers, directors, or someone in control ...
