Stench of corruption: Nancy Pelosi buys Big Tech call options

Nancy Pelosi has grown very rich while in public office. She's amassed a reported $120 million fortune on a $223,500 annual congressional salary.

And like Hillary Clinton, she's an expert stock picker. In her case, she trades a lot on stocks of companies she writes the laws for, and somehow, it always seems to go her way.

Last year, her pick was Tesla. This year? All about Big Tech.

She's laying the money down. According to Mediaite:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) placed up to $3 million in bets this month on a handful of companies to succeed in 2022 — including Google, SalesForce, and Disney.

Pelosi and her husband, Paul Pelosi, put the money on call options in the four-day period from Dec. 17-21, according to disclosures made public on Thursday by the House Clerk. Their largest investment was for call options for SalesForce, valued at $500,000 to $1.250 million. The options came with a strike price of $210 on Jan. 20, 2023, compared to $65 as of Dec. 29. Google ranked as their second-highest investment, with $500,000-$1 million for calls at a strike price of $2,000 on Sept. 16, 2022, compared to $109 on Thursday.

Other investments included $250,000-$500,000 on call options for Micron Technology, at a strike price of $50 on Sept. 16, 2022; the same amount for calls on Roblox, at a price of $100 on Jan. 20, 2023; and $100,000-$250,000 for calls on Disney at $130 on Sept. 16, 2022.

The Pelosi Crime Family is part of The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate.

Which the FBI runs with.

No one cares. I bet if you look at the portfolio’s of all 535 of them, about 90% of them are buying the same stuff. They just have a stealthier way of buying it.

And she knows that she’s untouchable.

The options aren’t the problem. That Miss Global Warming bought a mansion in FL feet from the ocean and will use a large jet to go back and forth is corruption.

I think its now official she will retire in 2022.

She’s padding her nest and isn’t even bothering to hide it.

Maybe we should print congressional investments in the sports pages right under the MLB hitting statistics. We may not be able to prevent them form becoming corrupt millionaires while in public service, but we can know who is buying them.

I trade options all the time and I have no idea what the author is talking about.

Did she do it or her husband, who is a savvy professional investor.

I gotta go with the professional investor.

Of course, Nancy could have gotten secret tips on those obscure, under-the-radar stocks they invested in like Tesla, SalesForce and Disney.

If it is insider trading & she is doing it then she needs to be charged with an illegal act, period. It doesn’t matter how important she thinks she is. I couldn’t get away with it, so neither should she. There is no equal justice these days, I guess.

It is "insider trading" because they trade on NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION!!

The laws are already in place and they don't need to be tailored to address Congress and staff.

If the DOJ was willing to do their job Pelosi and others would go to jail.

I heard she is moving to Florida. DeSantis should ban her.

And it’s still not enough. It never is for lib dems, and explains why the worst of them tend to die in office rather than retire.

Can she be impeached after leaving office? Worth a try.

And the vast majority of options expire worthless.

Given this, these big Pelosi purchases stink.
