If he’s pushing for legislation that will help grow his investment, it is for me.
Generally speaking, I’m against public officials holding up assets in the financial markets they can control one way or another.

Commodities don’t have the same laws as securities, if it was a security it would be a conflict of interest.
I honestly, can’t see why. Can you please explain ?
You can legally promote a commodity without legal ramifications even if you are invested in it. Laws for commodities are not the same as securities and have different regulators. For instance SEC regulates securities and CME regulates commodities.
