      From the article:

      **The big picture: **Previous efforts to get a stock trading ban passed through Congress have failed over the last few years.

      • But the bipartisan backing in the Senate could tee up the bill for rare progress during an election year.
      • The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee will mark up the bill on July 24.
