Is there evidence of this? Anytime I have seen the details, in context, of Pelosi trades, they seem very unconvincing. When someone does a lot of trading, it is easy to cherry pick the successful trades or apparently conflicted trades while ignoring the whole picture, and scope of the portfolio.

>Is there evidence of this? Is this the right question? Insider trading is incredibly hard to prove as it is. But we know that Pelosi is privy to insider information. She's an 82 year old centimillionaire, does she really need to be day-trading options?

  Not to mention it's commonsensical at this point -- we can let the courts decide, but there is enough reason to suspect something dubious is afoot, given her lack of integrity as a person from moral and ethical standpoints.

I think her husband has beat the s%P the last year, I"m not sure long term.

  There was a twitter account that was called "Nancy Pelosi's Stock Tracker" but since Jack left, the new CEO seems to have shut the account down. I have no idea why it was shutdown though.

    Ah yes, CEOs are in charge of banning individual accounts

      Irrelevant. Why did Twitter ban an account reporting objective details on a public figure's actions and/or corruption? (The 3rd most powerful person in our elite ruling class, mind you)

      I'm not sure if you're joking but Jack Dorsey was absolutely the final decision maker in many high profile account bans

  From what I've seen in headlines he buys a lot of big tech call options dated a year out or more. Since big tech has done well over the past decade, he probably has beat S&P by buying calls. As long as big tech stocks go up 10% a yr, he'll do well with that strategy. According to this they invest heavy in mostly big tech, probably similar to a lot of people here https://housestockwatcher.com/summary_by_rep/Hon.%20Nancy%20Pelosi https://housestockwatcher.com/summary_by_rep/Hon.%20Nancy%20... I think the public should be given notice immediately when Congress members purchase or sell shares/options. I think they should also have to hold on to shares/options for a certain length of time. I think this could solve most problems.

I think her husband has beaten Warren Buffet by nearly double. No one is consistently that good.

  I don't think that would be possible to deduce from public filings. I would imagine that someone has estimated it based on net worth growth, but of course, that would assume that all of their investments are in stock only. They own an investment company as well as lots of real estate. More than likely, their growth in net worth has primarily been through appreciation and income from the business.

Yes. It's well known she's corrupt to the bone. https://unusualwhales.com/i_am_the_senate/congress https://unusualwhales.com/i_am_the_senate/congress > As of December 22nd stimulus was just approved on that day. On December 22'nd, Pelosi’s Husband purchased deep ITM TSLA and AAPL calls. After Market close on December 22'nd, she voiced support for $2000 of stimulus after Donald Trump tweets the need for additional stimulus. Those same companies rally 5%, giving an instant +30 return, on Dec 23rd.

  As much as I despise Trump I think see very well why he became president back when he did and also why Joe Biden barely won despite the massive support he got from almost every tech and media company.
