..he is buying shares of USA Military Industrial stocks and selling petrol stock days before the bombing begins. Then when the bombing starts he takes in a fortune. Then the other way around, days before peace talks, the insider info are announced a buy order goes out for petrol stocks days before.The insider info tells him peace and war stocks to hold and which ones to sell.

It is like Hegseth is a fortune teller predicting the future and getting rich. But he is only trading stocks with insider information telling him where to park his money before the stocks takes a major jump in price.

Hegseth is no investment maven or a mathematical wizard like Einstein. He is a cheater and a scoundrel who is criminally manipulating his stock purchases to game the stock market for huge profits. The SEC,.. (Stock) Securities + Exchange Commission should light his ass of fire. But Trump's team is running the show at the SEC,.. so don't hold you breath for a meaning full investigation at this time.
