Simple question libs. Since Hillary knows so much about cattle futures

Live cattle prices are at the lowest they've been in years. How come she didn't short the Market?

Maybe her financial advisor didn't tell to?

I don't know.

Hillary turned a $1000 dollar investment into a 100,000 windfall.

Trump managed to lose a BILLION DOLLARS in one year.

Which one do you want running the economy?

She turned $1,000 (well below the required margin requirement to open an account in the first place, but let's not cast doubt on that) into $100,000 in a year. Had she stuck with commodity trading she'd be the worlds first trillionaire

From what I've read playing any futures market is tough.

And yet Hillary hit it big. Of course if she had insider info then if wasn't a big deal at all.

Oh and the guy supposedly giving her the tips was a lawyer for Tyson Chicken. The same Tyson Chicken who got big tax breaks to keep their plants in Arkansas. Sound kinda shady?? You bet.

Under the guidance of an attorney representing Tyson Foods, Hillary Clinton made a $98,540 profit from a $1,000 initial investment in less than one year trading commodity futures. While $98,540 may not seem like much money relative to the Clinton family’s wealth today, it exceeded Bill and Hillary’s combined annual income at the time.

When this story was revealed in the spring of 1994, Hillary Clinton’s press secretary suggested that the enormous profit was the result of the First Lady’s own research — but the Tyson-linked attorney, James Blair, admitted that he advised Clinton when to buy and sell the futures. Further, there was no evidence that Clinton had previously traded in commodity futures or knew much about the market.

Careful readers at the time also learned that Clinton’s initial trading also had a serious irregularity. Unlike stock investments, commodity futures are almost always purchased with high levels of margin, meaning that the investor is using a substantial proportion of money borrowed from the broker to control positions. Exchanges and regulators typically require investors to keep a minimum amount of cash in their futures accounts to avoid getting into a negative position if futures prices move in the wrong direction. In Hillary Clinton’s case, her $1,000 initial investment was well below the $12,000 deposit required by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange for the first trades she executed. So not only did Hillary make an extraordinary profit for a novice investor, she did so without following the rules applied to less well-connected traders.

By the time the so-called “cattle futures” scandal fell out of the headlines, readers of The New York Times and Washington Post — mainstream outlets that both extensively reported the story — were left with the impression that Hillary’s trading activity was suspicious. But, since Hillary was not an elected official, the scandal was eclipsed by bimbo eruptions and the Whitewater Affair, both involving the president himself.
government started bailing out banks and other big corporations. In the aftermath of TARP and other widely reported instances of crony capitalism, Clinton’s behavior back in 1978 and 1979 warrants further scrutiny.

The Clinton Scandal That Still Matters Is Not the One You Think

Looks really shady to me. How bout you??
Of course it is Hillary who's honesty, well, what honesty, is truly lacking.

They don't know what you are referring to. Their media outlets have failed to tell them of Hillary's unbelievable windfall of decades ago. To them, you are posting conspiracies.

a full year of State college was $1000 back in the 70's.... no small change investment.

She posted $1K, when the margin requirement at the time was I thought $10k, but someone posted that it's actually $12k.
