A hundred grand isn't anything to the Pilosis', plus Trump gets his cut right off the top. "Buy Dell" was one of them. Best president ever!

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s family invested millions of dollars in an energy company positioned to profit from the artificial intelligence industry’s surging demand for electricity, according to a congressional financial disclosure.
Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, purchased 15,000 shares of Bloom Energy and 200 call options through accounts he owns, according to a transaction report Nancy Pelosi signed Aug. 21, Barron’s reported. The San Jose, California-based company manufactures fuel-cell systems capable of supplying on-site electricity to data centers and other power-hungry facilities.
The disclosure lists a July 24 purchase of 10,000 Bloom shares valued between $1 million and $5 million, along with 100 call options valued within the same range. Paul Pelosi purchased another 5,000 shares valued between $500,000 and $1 million on July 28, as well as another 100 call options valued between $1 million and $5 million, according to Barron’s.
“Speaker Pelosi does not own any stocks and has no knowledge or subsequent involvement in any transactions,” Pelosi’s office told Barron’s in response to the latest disclosure.
Pelosi has denied allegations that she used information obtained through public office to benefit from stock transactions. Her office previously told the Daily Caller News Foundation that Pelosi “does not own any stocks” and “has no prior knowledge or subsequent involvement in any transactions” conducted by her husband.
Nancy Pelosi and Bloom Energy each did not immediately respond to the DCNF’s requests for comment.
Pelosi, who is not seeking reelection in November after 39 years in Congress, opposed banning members of Congress from trading stocks in 2021 but later endorsed restrictions on trades by elected officials and their families. She voiced support in 2025 for legislation prohibiting members of Congress, presidents and vice presidents from trading individual stocks.
Bloom has emerged as a major player in the race to provide electricity for AI infrastructure as data-center developers struggle with lengthy waits for new grid connections, according to Reuters.
The company announced in April that Oracle intended to acquire up to 2.8 gigawatts of its fuel-cell systems to support the technology giant’s AI and cloud-computing expansion. Bloom said an initial 1.2 gigawatts of capacity was already being deployed across Oracle projects in the United States.
Bloom and investment firm Brookfield subsequently expanded their AI infrastructure partnership from $5 billion to $25 billion in June, according to Bloom’s press release at the time. The companies said the agreement would finance rapidly deployable power projects for AI facilities around the world.
The partnerships allow Bloom to capitalize on a central obstacle facing the AI industry: obtaining enormous amounts of reliable electricity quickly enough to keep pace with planned data center construction. Bloom markets its onsite fuel cells as an alternative for developers facing years-long waits for grid connections and upgrades.
Bloom shares have more than doubled since the beginning of 2026, according to Barron’s. The stock rose following the release of Pelosi’s disclosure.
The STOCK Act, which then-President Barack Obama signed in 2012, requires members of Congress to disclose qualifying securities transactions made by themselves, their spouses or dependent children. The law generally requires transactions exceeding $1,000 to be reported within 45 days.
“We must have strong transparency, robust accountability and tough enforcement for financial conduct in office because the American people deserve confidence that their elected leaders are serving the public interest — not their personal portfolios,” Pelosi said in July 2025.
Two Missouri Republicans in 2025 introduced a bill named after Pelosi that seeks to stop members of Congress as well as their spouses from making stock trades. The bill’s full name is the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI) Act.

Where ever they use use these Fuel Cells they are going to need HUGE natural gas deposits.

I wonder if Pelosi asked about the tendency to burn holes in each cell’s proton exchange membrane? It’s the film that separates the hydrogen from the oxygen. It tends to dry out, crack, and allow combustion when mixed. If not….lots of laughs!
AI can’t be to smart or useful if it can’t figure out a way to cool itself without water or operate without tax payer money.

It doesn't matter if she exits the stock after the pump-and-dump.
Data centers are just a natural outcome of ‘economies of scale’.
It’s like a fundamental law of nature.
It explains why a mom and pop grocery is so small and a steel factory is so large.
Very true!
I witnessed it for myself while spending ten years in the industry.
“Pelosi has denied allegations” is the statement I’ll remember her by.
Do you feel the same way about nuclear?

That’s why they replaced every five years. Or sooner. Stop being a smart ass or maybe I should say stop being a Luddite.
CALIF IS A COMMUNITY PROPERTY STATE
SHE ABSOLUTELY OWNS SUCH STOCK
The Mafia princess and her husband are obviously *really* concerned about AGW climate change, I've known that since they bought a new family manse in hurricane country.

No direct evidence that Trump is personally selling secret, unpublished early market information (like pre-announcement tips), but his company is monetizing faster access to his market-moving Truth Social posts, and there have been repeated patterns of suspicious pre-announcement trading that raise questions.
apnews.com
Truth Social's paid “Truth API” feedTrump Media & Technology Group (TMTG, the publicly traded parent of Truth Social, in which Trump holds a large stake via trust) launched Truth API around August 1, 2026. It is a licensed, low-latency data feed aimed at institutional customers—especially high-frequency and algorithmic trading firms—that delivers posts from the platform's highest-ranking accounts (Trump's is by far the largest, with ~13 million followers, along with family and official accounts) in milliseconds.
nytimes.com
Pricing has been reported in the $60,000–$100,000 per month range (with multi-year discounts).
More than 10 customers signed up in the early weeks.
The company itself has stated that “markets already move on Truth Social posts” and positions the product as a recurring revenue stream.
washingtonexaminer.com
This is not advance knowledge of unpublished decisions. Posts go live publicly at the same time; the paid feed simply gives machines a tiny speed edge over ordinary users or slower monitoring methods (similar to how other platforms sell faster data feeds). Critics, including ethics experts and some lawmakers, call it selling privileged/expedited access to presidential policy announcements that move stocks, oil, currencies, etc., creating a conflict of interest because Trump benefits as a major shareholder. Defenders note that other social platforms offer comparable paid APIs and that pure speed advantages are generally legal under current securities rules.

Suspicious trading patterns before announcementsSeparate from the API, multiple investigations (BBC, academic analyses, market data reviews) have documented unusual volume spikes in oil futures, S&P futures, and related instruments minutes or hours before some of Trump's major Truth Social posts or interviews on tariffs, Iran-related developments, and other policy moves. These created opportunities for large profits for whoever was positioned early.
stories.theconversation.com
Examples include activity ahead of de-escalation signals on Iran (oil price drops) and the 2025 tariff pause. Officials and aides have also made well-timed personal stock sales around tariff announcements. No public proof has established that Trump or the White House itself is deliberately leaking non-public information for sale, though the patterns have prompted calls for probes, White House staff warnings against insider trading, and congressional letters. Some cases remain unexplained by public information alone.

Trump's own trading and related issuesTrump’s financial disclosures show extensive stock trading (thousands of transactions, large dollar volumes) while in office, with some purchases/sales timed near policy actions or his own posts praising companies. Critics allege conflicts or self-enrichment; the White House has denied improper use of office.

Bottom line: The clearest, documented activity is TMTG charging Wall Street for a speed advantage on Trump's (and other top) public posts. Broader claims of selling secret early information remain in the realm of suspicion based on trading patterns rather than proven sales by Trump. Markets do react strongly to his statements, which is why the speed feed has commercial value.
They will all be operating with closed loop systems similar to your car or house AC system. Many have already started incorporating them into their designs.
