Can you clarify what you mean by "this"? Being able to copy the trades of politicians or politicians making trades that are almost instantly profitable?

Why in the world would somebody be complaining about the first one? Obviously the second one is a long standing, often talked about issue and is what they mean. Don't play dumb.

I'm asking for clarification because whilst there's a strong argument that politicians are performing insider trading (which as you say is widely regarded as something that should be stopped), if an amateur can copy those trades and make a 20% profit on them, what's stopping hedge funds from doing the same and millions or billions from what is basically second-degree insider trading?

I was asking if they are also suggesting that this second-degree insider trading be stopped somehow?
