US Senator Who Serves On Finance Committee Profits From Betting Against The Stock Market — And He Just Bet The Same Again
Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje

He recently sold his positions in the ProShares Short QQQ ETF (NYSE:PSQ) and purchased up to $45,000 in AdvisorShares Ranger Equity Bear ETF (NYSE:HDGE). This move has raised concerns as Carper could have access to insider information due to his position on the Senate Finance Committee.
