It’s crazy to me that congress doesn’t have more restrictions on trading given their power and information about the markets. Interns at an investment bank are more restricted in their trading.
Does anyone know how we know these were options trades? From the screenshots of the raw data I’ve seen it’s not clear to me how options are differentiated from a market purchase of the same equities.

- paulgb 6y agoI’m not wondering why they used options, but how we know they used options. (The screenshot shown just shows the stocks, but I’ve seen it reported elsewhere that they were options so I don’t doubt it, just wondering where the source of that is)
- tzs 6y agoYou can see the options purchases here [1]. They purchased options three times in February 2021, with an expiration of 3021-03-19, with strike prices of $130 for two of the purchases and $140 for the other. https://unusualwhales.com/i_am_the_senate_member/Nancy%20Pelosi https://unusualwhales.com/i_am_the_senate_member/Nancy%20Pel... EDIT: Typo! That should be February 2020, not 2021! Thanks to jfengel for catching this.
