The best way to stop this is to require Congressmen to immediately notify the public what stocks they are buying and selling.

Yep...it’s no secret. Members of Congress are permitted to do insider trading. The best thing to do is get a law that makes it illegal. The chances of Congress giving that up are slim and none...and Slim left town.

Corrupt politicians make some of the best investors! I.E., Hillary Clinton. She just read the Wall Street Journal and made a quick $100k by placing a trade on cattle futures! No help at all from a corrupt broker shifting a winner trade into her account, right?

Yup - I've put a few thousand into the Pelosi Tracker on the AutoPilot app. It's doing well.

AOC of all people seems to have the right view on this - she was calling out insider trading by members of Congress just recently. Members of Congress and their spouses should be forced to put all of their investment assets into blind trusts controlled by independent financial managers.

Here’s a story no American media outlet would touch.

Unless, of course, they caught Donald Trump doing it.

“Last year the tracker finished up 54 per cent”

A piffling statistical anomaly. Nothing more.

Nothing to see here, move on...

The Pelosi’s another shady D.C. lot that helps keeping the stench strong.

If congress can do this, then so can everyone else under equal protection.

This is part of the government corruption that needs to end.

Congress doesn’t have to use commie care either as I recollect it.

“How to invest like a Pelosi”

Get elected to Congre$$ and eve if they ban insider trading like they did once before, bring it back and continue to feed data to your hubby so he can continue to make millions of $$$$. Looking at her age and physical appearance she should worry about eternity staring her in the face. Oh, I forgot. She’s devout Catholic. that means she can do whatever she wants as long as a priest waves his hands over her as she is dying and all her sins will be forgiven and she will sneak right past God’s judgement right into Heaven.

QQQ - the ETF for the Nasdaq 100 - is up 400% in the last 10 years.

SPY - the ETF for the S&P 500 - is up 200% in the last 10 years.

QQQ is closer to 425% if you re-invested your very modest dividend.

SPY is close to 250% with its larger dividend re-invested.

The only way to score an 800% gain in 10 years is to invest in high risk individual stocks.

The only government officials who might have critical inside valuation knowledge about individual stocks would be in the IRS or the Justice Department.

Almost all the other government agencies share their financial knowledge in real time with the financial markets.

Pelosi this month [January 2025] bought options on Amazon, Google, the chipmaker giant Nvidia and the healthcare company Tempus AI — locking in a price to buy at later.

The Pelosi Tracker’s top holding is Nvidia (making up 20 per cent).

Nvidia, one of the so-called magnificent seven stocks that dominate the tech sector, has emerged as one of the biggest winners of the AI race.

A spokesman for Nancy Pelosi said she does not own any stocks and “has no prior knowledge or subsequent involvement in any transactions.”
