US Congress to adopt 'insider trading' ban
A bill first put forward five years ago to stop United States politicians from trading inside information is closer to becoming law.
Congress is looking at a new, tougher law to block senators and its members from using information picked up in committees, reports and briefings to play the stock market – essentially insider trading.
Data shows that nearly 1,536 members of Congress outperform the stock market by about six to 10 per cent on a regular basis. But that may soon be a thing of the past.
