#------------------- On February 22, 2005, Barack Obama, a U.S. Senator at the time, placed a trade on a tiny biotechnology company out of Oregon. The biotech company's name is AVI Biopharma.
8 months after Obama bought the stock, the company was awarded a $28 million contract from the federal government to research treatments against biological warfare or a bioterrorism attack. #-------------------- This doesn't sound like insider trading to me; because, 8 months is a long time. Quarterly, and probably annual, financial statements would have been released during this time, which should have disclosed any pending awards of large federal contract. Beside, most congressmen have their stock portfolios in a blind trust, managed by professional, so this sounds like FUD. The rumor is probably originating with the Religious Righters or other extreme right wing nut jobs like Rush Limbugh, who want the Obama Administration policies to fail for the advancement of right wing political power, which is not very American or Democratic, if you ask me.
