How To Invest Like Politicians… And Should You?

Ever wondered how members of Congress manage to grow their wealth while in office? In this episode, Charles Scott dives into the controversial topic of investing like politicians. We explore the ETFs tracking political investments- NANC and KRUZ- and unpack the historical (and sometimes shady) relationship between lawmakers and insider trading. Then, Charles tackles a listener's question about rebalancing investment portfolios. Is it really necessary, or is it just an arbitrary financial ritual? Tune in to hear Charles' unique take!

We'll also touch on why everyday investors might find these political ETFs fascinating (or risky).

As always, this discussion is for informational purposes only and not financial advice. But it will definitely make you think…
