Representative Seth Moulton, a Democrat from Massachusetts and 2020 presidential candidate, meets with volunteers during a campaign stop in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Tuesday, April 23, 2019. Adam Glanzman | Bloomberg | Getty Images Rep. Seth Moulton , D-Mass.,, on Wednesday announced an office-wide policy barring his congressional staff from using prediction market platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket. "Congressional staff and the Members they work for exist to serve the constituents of the districts they represent, not to profit off of the very policy decisions and world events that we are here to respond to," Moulton said in a statement posted to X . "My office has not, and will not, engage in these trades that run counter to every principle of a clean, honest a government that works for the people." A spokesperson for Moulton said he believes the policy is the first of its kind on Capitol Hill. It comes amid a wave of proposals from lawmakers seeking to rein-in prediction markets, which allow users to place bets on the outcome of a wide-range of events, from basketball games to Oscars best picture winners . The platforms have come under intense scrutiny from some states and casinos, who argue prediction markets offer a loophole for gambling and should be state regulated. Lawmakers have also recently expressed concern about the potential for insider trading on prediction markets, in the wake of well-timed trades on world events like the ouster of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and the war in Iran. Moulton co-sponsored legislation that would bar elected officials from placing prediction market bets on insider information .

Just one " Tweet " about negotiating with Iran turned the bearish sentiment upside down, sending stocks surging, at least in the near term. So, it appears that the market may trust in Trump after all. Now, I've actually gotten more near-term cautious on markets in recent months, well before the conflict with Iran "broke out." In early February, I put out this cautionary correction article , when the market was around its peak. In fact, I began questioning the market's health in the short-term as soon as Kevin Warsh was nominated to lead the Fed, and we witnessed unprecedented crashes in gold, silver, as well as in other assets. I also discussed my "five-step" plan for the upcoming months in my early February correction article highlighted above, as we had entered a period of heightened market uncertainty and increased volatility. My Five Step Correction Plan Process Just to reiterate, the plan was: 1. Reduce risk exposure first and foremost, to avoid considerable drawdowns, especially in the riskier pockets of equity and other risk asset markets. 2. Increase cash and get out of margin to decrease risk and increase dry powder to purchase high quality stocks and increase core positions on significant pullbacks. 3. Rotate away from the irrationally overbought areas in the market like gold and silver at that time, ultra high flyers, high alpha stocks, and digital assets which typically experience some of the most considerable declines during correction periods. Moreover, I rotated into some badly beaten down segments like undervalued oil and gas, certain nuclear stocks, and other "safer haven" areas in the market. 4. We discussed implementing various hedging strategies like selling covered calls, collars, and other implementing other hedging mechanisms. 5. We also discussed c...
