<<Just the other day there were almost 50 posts from folks re-hashing Bush/Clinton politics. >> A great deal about the Clinton's political "successes" go directly to conspiracy to manipulate the markets. Their personal wins are the stuff of legend: zolatimes.com Regulatory Extortion by Thomas J. DiLorenzo (in part) "It was also widely reported at the time that the handlers of Hillary Clinton's not-so-blind trust were selling her pharmaceutical stocks short every time she made a highly publicized speech demonizing the pharmaceutical industry, which she did quite often. During the Clinton health plan fiasco of 1993&endash;94 the value of pharmaceutical stocks dropped by over $40 billion, according to one account.10 After the industry poured millions of dollars into the coffers of Washington politicians the price-control plan was defeated." fee.org Hillary Rodham Clinton What Every American Should Know (in part) "Only four explanations can account for these remarkable results. Blair may have been an exceptionally good trader. Hillary Clinton may have been exceptionally lucky. Blair may have been front-running other orders. Or Blair may have arranged to have a broker fraudulently assign trades to benefit [Hillary] Clinton’s account.
