John Kerry in 2012 spotlight

19. Everything that they are saying was debunked swiftly - by the Boston Globe

This DU 2 thread has a lot of things debunking it - including a response that Kerry put out soon after the member of the Palin pack was on 60 minutes (where Kerry was NOT mentioned). All the transactions were done by the Heinz Family trust that he is not involved with at all - and which Teresa is not a trustee of.

In addition to the those facts, the BG looked at ALL the transactions and found that the rate of return was not unusually good.

The attacks were ridiculous - any purchase of a health care stock in 2003 or 2009 was deemed suspect. Kerry was identified as chairing the healthcare subcommittee of the Finance Committee in 2003 - and thus was key in writing the prescription drug program. In fact, the Republicans had all the chairs, Kerry was against the bill, and was spending most of his time campaigning. On a drug, they cite that the Health committee COULD have been informed when Medicare stopped covering a drug that was held by the Heinz trust. In fact, Kerry was not on the HELP committee and the Heinz trust sold at a low point.
