alt Hacker NewsWe had this discussion in previous posts about congressional leaders who had the risk appetite to go tech heavy and therefore outperformed normal congress critters.
Going heavy on tech can be rewarding, but you are taking on more risk of losing big in a tech crash. We all know that, and if you don't have that money to play riskier moves, its not really a move you can take.
Long term it is less of a win if a tech bubble builds and pops before you can exit (and you can't out it out to re-inflate).
They didn't just outperform "normal" congress critters.. they also outperformed nearly every hedge fund on the planet. But they (meaning, of course, just one person and their spouse) are obviously geniuses.
