    I'd be more concerned if he were short the US Dollar.

    That would be kind of funny though if the President could speculate in stocks. I could just see the head line now, "GM needs a bail out and so does Obama because he kept scaling into GM as it dropped!" LOL

    I think, however, that Vikana is right, government officials aren't allowed to speculate in stocks, futures, etc. Talk about insider trading, geez, almost every decision these guys make could be used to claim insider trading.

  6. noob, a couple of people have already pointed out that he has invested where he has because he doesnt have much choice....... and also as pointed out, he doesnt have much reason to risk anything. He is pretty much a walking money printer after he finishes his term.
