New Congressional Stock Trades, Government Contracts and Lobbying

Good Evening,

I know that I sent this first part last Tuesday, but I want to keep reminding you of the re-brand!

My name is Matt Allen, and our team at Grit Capital has re-branded this newsletter into a newsletter that tracks congressional stock trades, government contracts, and lobbying deals every Tuesday.

Congress keeps trading stocks on inside information that is not available to the average person. They are becoming millionaires when they are supposed to be working for me and you. The entire mission behind this “Follow The Money” newsletter is to help level the playing field between the average person and the insiders in Washington DC.

We are also launching a paid subscription where subscribers also receive two deep-dive investigations every month into stocks that Congress has been buying. The companies that are featured will have a track record of congress buying the stock along with government lobbying and/or government contracts. These investigations are published on the first and third Thursday of the month at 9:00 am.

I look forward to getting to know each of you, and it is time that we level the playing field for the average investor!

Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has plead guilty to 3 federal counts that include tax evasion and gun charges. He will more than likely not face any type of serious punishment besides public embarrassment.

Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has said that the Biden Administration do not support Taiwan independence on his trip to China.

A submarine that was sent out to explore the Titanic has gone missing.

The White House has said that decisive action will be taken on Artificial Intelligence in the coming weeks.
