Yes, but with strict protections against insider trading

This answer aligns well with market fundamentalism by balancing the ideology's preference for economic freedom with the need to prevent abuses such as insider trading.

Agree

Yes

Market fundamentalism, which advocates for minimal governmental intervention in the economy, might support the idea that members of Congress should be allowed to trade stocks, viewing it as a matter of personal freedom and economic liberty. However, the score is not a full 5 because even within market fundamentalism, there is recognition of the need for some regulations to ensure fair markets, and unrestricted stock trading by Congress members could be seen as conflicting with this principle.
