In terms of net worth built on juggling investments and mortgages, Pelosi is 9th among representatives. How will that affect her leadership on the bailout?

In 2006, the majority of the House Speaker's investments were in Finance and Insurance (45%), followed by Misc. Business (38%), Communications (10%), and Construction (2%).

Her 2007-08 assests and liabilities are not revealed at Open Secrets, but one has to wonder if it is just for Congressmembers that are heavily invested like Pelosi to be deciding on bailing themselves out. Talk about 'insider trading!'
