1. What is your opinion of the topic of the video? Explain why.
My opinion on the topic is that letting members of Congress use information that no one else is allowed to know is not okay. Other people, like Martha Stewart, have been put in jail for using insider trading information so why is Congress different? They are citizen of the US just like we are so they should have to face the same penalties.
2. What can you do about your opinion? How can you make your opinion count?
I can voice my opinion. I can make my opinion count by finding more people with similar views who would be willing to make a group effort to change what goes on in Congress.
3. What is insider trading? What was the information that cause Martha Stewart to go to prison?
Insider trading is stock trading done with information that is not publicly known. Martha Stewart went to prison because of information she got about ImClone, a biopharmaceutical company, saying that the stock of this company was going to drop badly so sell while prices are still high.
4. What is Black Friday and when did it get its name? What is Cyber Monday?
Black Friday is the day that kicks off the holiday shopping season. Black Friday got its name because it causes most businesses to go into "the black" meaning they are making good profit. Cyber Monday is the online equivalent of Black Friday.
