➡ Dr. Steve and Ross Givens discuss how politicians often outperform average investors in the stock market due to insider trading. They highlight a recent example where Congressman Michael McCall allegedly used his knowledge of a TikTok ban to buy stocks in Meta, TikTok’s competitor. Despite the questionable legality of such actions, they are common in Congress and often go unreported. Ross Givens offers free training sessions to teach people how to profit from this information by following the trades of politicians and other insiders.
➡ A free online training event is happening on Thursday, May 23rd at 3 p.m. Eastern, where you can learn how to spot and profit from stock trades made by corporate insiders. By registering for the event, you’ll also receive research on a new stock pick. The event is open to everyone, even those with no prior investment experience. Make sure to register early as spaces are limited.

Hey gang, it’s me, Dr. Steve. Question for you. How do members of Congress regularly outperform regular average investors in the stock market every single time? Well, I think you know the answer. They cheat! At least that’s what my guest today says, my good friend, insider trading expert and sponsor Ross Givens is here to reveal the latest stock market scandal coming out of DC. Ross, thanks for joining us, man. Hey, Dr. Steve, always a pleasure to talk to you. Yeah, well, it’s always a pleasure to talk to you, but I always get my, you get my blood boiling every single time.

You and I talk a lot about insider trading by politicians and other insiders. As far as I know, you are the leading expert on the topic, but more importantly, and this is the part that I love, you don’t just complain about it. You don’t just sit back and wring your hands. You actually show people how to piggyback on these trades to make money for themselves. And I know some of our viewers, myself and Clue, we get our stock picks that you text out to us and a lot of them have delivered big gains.

In fact, you’re hosting a free online training event this Thursday, May 23rd at three o’clock Eastern time, and you’re going to show people how to do it themselves. Just click on the link below to register, gang. You’re going to love it. But you texted me the other day about a stock trade made by representative Michael McCall. And this to me is such a blatant example of insider trading. I mean, I can’t even believe this is legal. Can you, can you talk us through what happened here? Right? Well, I agree with you.

Um, you know, most people are by now are familiar with this TikTok ban, uh, and that ban was written by the guy you mentioned, uh, Congressman Michael McCall. Now McCall, he’s the chairman of the foreign affairs committee. He’s called TikTok a quote spy balloon in America’s phones. Now I don’t use TikTok. Is he right? I don’t know. I mean, as a chief, you know, she chairs the foreign affairs committee. So for argument’s sake, let’s just say that it’s true. It really doesn’t matter. But what he does, he drafted this new law that would ban anyone from using the app in America.

But here’s where it gets interesting. Once he introduced the bill, he immediately starts buying meta stock. So he signs the bill on March 3rd by March 5th, he’d already bought up $500,000 worth of meta, puts all the stock in his wife’s name, mind you, then goes out and buys another hundred thousand, another hundred thousand, another hundred thousand, just buying this stock up, hand over fist right after the bill gets signed. And just, and just to clarify, I mean, for anyone who doesn’t know, meta is the parent company of Facebook, of Instagram, right? Which is TikTok’s biggest competitor.

So, so if TikTok gets banned, all that traffic, at least theoretically, is going to flood to these other platforms, which means more users, more ad revenue, and I’m assuming a higher stock price. Exactly. Yeah. Now, here’s the thing, Dr. Steve, Scott didn’t stop there. Now, as you know, Republicans pulled a nice little trick to make sure that bill would pass and they attached it to the aid package for Ukraine and Israel. So basically, in order to get that 95, the next $95 billion that’s going to line the pockets of their friends and donors and military industrial complex, they also had to vote yes on the TikTok ban.

So McCall knew that was going to pass. The band’s pretty much a sure thing at this point. So what do you think he did next? Yeah. Buy more stock, right? Exactly. Yeah. He bought more. So once this thing’s attached, he buys another several hundred thousand dollars worth. This time he puts it in his kid’s name. So all told McCall’s got, he’s bought up more than a million dollars in meta stock right at the time of this TikTok ban that he wrote and made sure it would pass. Yeah. I mean, to me, it’s just mind blowing because like I said earlier, it just seems like such an obvious blatant explicit violation.

Oh, I agree. But no one seems to care. McCall was elected to Congress. I looked him up. He’s elected to Congress in 2004. Now, he was not a poor guy, but at the time he was worth twelve million dollars. All right. Eight years later, his net worth was reported at two hundred ninety four million dollars. So so so he went. So from twelve million, which is impressive to now two hundred and ninety four million in under 10 years. Yeah. Eight years. Yeah. First two terms. Not a congressional salary, obviously. No, I don’t pay that well.

So here’s my question. I mean, he’s not a Democrat. He’s a Republican. Why isn’t this in the news? Why isn’t CNN talking about this and MSNBC talking about this? I know that. I mean, their mouthpieces for the laugh. This this would be perfect to roast a Republican, wouldn’t it? Yeah. But they’re all the thing. The reason you don’t see it is they’re all doing it. Right. They may hear this get giddy and their friends go, and let’s keep that one quiet because Republicans and Democrats are doing the same thing. If they expose McCall, they have to expose everybody.

Right. And this kind of insider trading is super, super common in Congress. And that’s one of the reasons I host these free training sessions like the one I’m doing for your viewers this Wednesday is to show people this gaping opportunity to show them how to use this information to make money for themselves. And I’ll just give you a couple of quick examples. We may have talked about some of these in the past, but I’ll remind your viewers. Representative Sidney Axne was trading Wells Fargo stock while sitting on the Financial Services Committee that was in charge of investigating Wells Fargo over the fake account scandal.

Representative Blumenauer bought defense stocks the very day Russia invaded Ukraine. Catherine Clark. He bought a little stock called Hollow Logic back in 2020. But the timing was interesting because she bought it one week before the company was awarded a $119 million COVID-19 testing contract. Dr. Steve, this woman is literally on the committee that awarded that funding. Now those are Democrats, but Republicans doing it too. Rick Allen made trades in Merck and Johnson and Johnson while sitting on a subcommittee considering prescription drug price legislation. Pat Fallon. This one’s wild. This guy buys Microsoft stock right before the government announced a $10 billion cloud computing contract with the Pentagon.

Then he sells the stock right before the government cancels the contract. I mean, it’s so blatant. I don’t even need to go down the Nancy Pelosi road. We’ve been there too many times, but look, you know, Congress cares about one thing and one thing only and that’s themselves. And with the exception of probably Trump, politicians almost always leave office far wealthier than when they came in. I mean, the Clintons were broke when Bill got elected president and now are they worth a quarter billion or something? So DC hasn’t changed. It’s not going to change.

It’s a revolving door of lobbyists, politicians, and special interests robbing the taxpayer to enrich themselves. Well, I mean, obviously that foregrounds the question. I mean, what’s it going to take to stop this? I know there have been a number of bills in the past to ban members of Congress from owning stocks. Do you think any of those will ever pass? No, no way. But that’s the thing about being a lawmaker, right? You’re the one writing the law. Right. You’re not going to pass anything that takes away your ability to make millions of dollars.

Yeah, the only silver lining to all of this is that they do have to report those trades publicly. And if you know where to look, and that’s what I’m showing people on Wednesday and show people all the time. If you know where to look, you can see the exact same stocks congressman and other insiders are buying right now their personal accounts. All you’ve got to do just piggyback their trade. So you know, I’ve been learning members of these since 2017. We’ve never had a losing year, right? Our track portfolio has a compound of return over 1900% the last six years.

Not because I’m a genius. I’m just following these people’s trades. If they’re going to do it, Cadex, the stock I share with you in January, if you remember that little biotech with all the insiders buying. Yeah, I just gave up 360% last four months. So I just think if you’re not following these trades, you’re not buying the same stocks, you’re missing out on some huge profits. Yeah, well, I’m punching myself on this one. I’ve been watching the Cadex as well. And I remember getting the alert to buy it. And I did not.

I failed. I didn’t take the action. That was the free. That’s part of your free recommendations that you give to everyone who registers for these live training events, right? This is, I think you have another one that you’re giving out as well. We do that. One of the things we do, just so people come in and get an idea of what this looks like, the caliber of our research, what’s out there. When we do these live training events, we usually do one like once a month. So it’s good timing. I’m talking to you now.

So this Wednesday, when yeah, everyone who registers, we’re going to immediately give you all the research on our latest pick goes right to your email. So you’ll get that immediately. I mean, that to me, that’s that’s worth the gold right there. So gang, just make sure to register. Just click on the link below. And even if you can attend the free training event, you’re still going to get research on Ross’s newest insider stock that I missed out on. So you mentioned cat X a minute ago. Correct me if I’m wrong, but you guys, you bought that one because corporate insiders were buying it, right? Are you going to be covering that on? Yeah.

When is it Thursday? It’s there. I might’ve said Wednesday. I’m sorry. It is Thursday. Yeah. Thursday at three. I get caught. I got two, two kids under five. Dr. Steve, I don’t know what day it is at the time. Two little, two wee ones that keep you up at night. That’s right. Yeah, but that is a distinction, right? So when I say insiders, kind of a blanket term, obviously politicians are one big source of these, but, and we’ll cover this, you know, on Thursday, but it’s not limited to politicians. You know, we can also see the trades of these corporate executives.

So CEOs, CFOs, like with cat X, like you said, it’s a biotech company in the middle of stage two drug trials. Okay. Then suddenly the chief financial officer starts buying a stock out of nowhere. A couple of members of the board start buying too. Then the chief medical officer, the guy running those drug trials, invest like half his annual salary in stock. So you don’t need a crystal ball to kind of figure out these drug trials are probably going pretty well when the guy running them is buying stock hand over fist.

So it’s really that simple. People just don’t know where to find this information. So, uh, you know, in that case, shocker, they were going well stock quadruples in four months, but that’s what we’re going to show people. Uh, this Thursday, three o’clock, may 23rd, three o’clock Eastern. Um, it’s a live event. It’s totally free. It’s online. So, trust me, uh, you want, do not wait, click on the link below, sign up. This is going to, this is going to be a life changer. Um, anyone can come, right? You don’t have to be, uh, an investment expert or financial expert.

I mean, you, you, you boil this stuff down to layman’s terms, right? Yeah. Anyone can come. And, and honestly, most of the people that, that, that we work with that follow our trades and get this stuff, most of them never invested in stocks before. I mean, very limited experience. Well, it’s not difficult. Um, we’re going to break it all down. The only catch is, as you know, that streaming software, that go-to webinar software we use does limit us to a thousand attendees and you get so popular when you got a million and a half subscribers or something crazy right now.

Uh, so we, we, we do usually fill those up. We fill them up in the past. So I encourage people to register early. Uh, be sure they get a spot, but look, there’s nothing to it. Name, email, you want to put your cell number in. We’ll shoot you a text reminder, uh, right before we get started. And we’re going to send over all the details, the full research and our latest pick, uh, my gift to you just to show you what’s out there. Hopefully you make some money on it. Uh, and then join us on Thursday at three.

Absolutely. It’s great. And I’ll be there too, gang. So just, uh, click on the link below, sign up, uh, May 23rd, 3 p.m. Eastern. Ross, I got to tell you, man, you shed so much light on this, this incredibly widespread issue among politicians. But again, what I love that you do is you don’t just wring your hands and so forth.
