How did that hit a nerve? The fact that you think the 2008 recession was "insider information"? Clearly you couldnt be that far outside of the loop to not know what the rest of the world knew?
How is it deflection to point out that there was no insider knowledge needed to know what we all knew, which is that we were in a recession in 2008? Maybe you lefties are a little slower than the rest of us.
Maybe you are just not an investor? I was buying stocks around the financial crisis, and I recall having no idea whether to invest in financial institutions and which were going to survive. But Paul Ryan certainly knew which to buy!
Even IF the biased source of this article is factual, it was perfectly legal and done by Democrats the same as Republicans.
I'm not sure showing a financial disclosure form (if it's even real) "connects any dots" since there is nothing tying Ryan to any meeting and him turning around and moving funds.
It's pure speculation that he RAN FROM THE MEETING and called his stockbroker.
But again...it was legal.
So then, when this became news, Congress attempted to pass a bill to stop it from happening.

I live off investments, and the fact that you didnt know whether to invest, doesnt mean it took a rocket scientist to know that we were in a recession in 2008. My children knew we were in a recession, why didnt you?
Maybe you arent followng along with the thread.. here, lets recap
September 18, 2008. The purpose of the meeting was to disclose the coming economic meltdown and beg Congress to pass legislation to help collapsing banks.
We ALL KNEW by September 2008 that we were in a recession because the recession started December 2007. Are you telling me that by September you didnt know we were in a recession yet? Wow, you arent seriously admitting you are a year + behind the rest of us in regards to the news..

WOW...just W-O-W!!!
By September 2008...the ENTIRE WORLD knew...but you were in the dark?

You are in the dark about the Banksters aren't you ?
JPM, GS, Citi, BofA were NEVER in any danger of going down.
Lehman and Bear took the fall and their assets were doled out to JPM.
Read your history of the banking cartel. "The Creature from Jekyll Island" is a good start.
Ryan didn't know anything that wasn't already common knowledge by most investors.
