Summary
You can read today's podcast here. You can take the poll about Tangle we mentioned in today's podcast here.
Shortly before Christmas break, Business Insider published a series that found 52 members of Congress and 182 senior-level staffers had violated the STOCK Act, which requires members and their familiey members to publicly disclose sales or purchases of individual stocks, bonds and commodity futures within 45 days of their actions.
Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), whose husband has a reputation for being a prolific stock trader, responded to a question about whether Congress should ban members and their families from trading stocks by saying "no... we're a free market economy. They should be able to participate in that."

| 1:19.0 | this month. I'm not going to tell you where I am because it's kind of fun to be running around, |
