Congress Quietly Guts Transparency Act
By Kemberlee Kaye on April 14, 2013

This little gem snuck through Friday's news dump. Without consulting the public, the Senate unanimously voted to remove the main disclosure requirements from the STOCK (Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge) Act. Passed a year ago, the STOCK Act required lawmakers and their staff to make public certain financial disclosures, the same disclosures as the American public, in order to ensure government officials do not personally benefit financialy from insider knowledge.

But, Wall Street always benefits. Traders love this stuff. And, some traders are "more equal" than others. Wired in to the source for their advanced knowledge.
