Congressional Campaign Accounts Invested In Stock Market Boosted By Wall Street Bounce

Wait. What's wrong with this picture? Campaign contributions being invested in the stock market?

in reference to:

"The recent surge on Wall Street has created a windfall for some Congressional campaigns that invested their political contributions in the stock market during the third quarter.

The biggest beneficiary was Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas), whose campaign investments have gone on a rollercoaster ride during the past two years. After losing more than $808,000 during 2008 and early 2009, the Texas Republican's campaign fund rebounded by recouping large sums of money in recent months."
