"An app with the tagline 'Invest like a Politician' should not be this popular," the co-founder of Autopilot tells The Daily Wire.
WASHINGTON—When Nancy Pelosi announced her retirement, mixed in among the tributes to the former House Speaker were a lot of jokes about stocks.
“‘America’s Greatest Investor’ gets dethroned!!!” conservative radio host Larry Elder wrote on X. “[Shout out] to Nancy Pelosi. [I]n Honor of your retirement, what other stocks should I invest in?” another user posted.
Pelosi has come under fire in recent years for her prolific stock trading, which, by some estimates, has earned her $130 million while in Congress. Although the California Democrat has not been charged with any wrongdoing, her uncanny ability to pick winning stocks has led many to suspect that Pelosi is using insider information to inform her trades.
On Autopilot, an investment app that allows users to model their trades off prominent investors like Warren Buffett, following Pelosi is now the biggest draw, co-founder Chris Josephs told The Daily Wire.
“It makes me sound like I’m faking stuff, but we have all the data,” Josephs said. “We track her filings. She quite literally outperforms hedge funds. There’s just no way around it. She literally just picks good stocks.” Last year, Autopilot estimated Nancy Pelosi made $28 million in profits from trades.
Josephs created Autopilot five years ago to let people follow their friends’ stock portfolios. Eventually, he realized he could grow the app by allowing users to follow successful investors. Once he understood the draw of Pelosi, he launched the Nancy Pelosi Stock Tracker account on X, which brought the former speaker’s trades to an even wider audience.

There oughta be a law against insider trading.
The Acme Grifters Inc (democRATS, DemoKKKrats, and RINOs) will figure out a way. Especially with the demise of USAID, they will turn up the $$$ spigot on other avenues.
Cattle Futures may be resurrected.
But only after she’s out of office. They’ve known about this for as many decades as she’s been doing it as well as since whoever she learned it from has been doing it
I hope that Trump is just waiting for the new year to kick in to move in on all this complete nonsense
There is for the proles. There's technically a law covering congress, but it isn't enforced against team players.
Seems like I remember Presidents’ money being put into Blind Trusts during their term. Should be the same for Congress-Critters.
obviously
There is no such thing as a blind trust.
No. They should be made public so the rest of us can make out like bandits like she did.
There is-just ask Martha Stewart-she did hard time for a fraction of the s*** Pelosi did. Martha Stewart was busted because she worked as a broker before her TV fame and supposedly did some insider trades-what Pelosi has done makes that look like driving 5 miles over the speed limit...
That is acceptable-I like it...
I think Martha Stewart went to prison over something she said when interviewed by the FBI, not because of insider trading.
Nanci Pelosi is the New Cathy Wood.
It was related-FBI said she lied about the insider trades she did-just another way of getting her, but easier to prove. I’d love to see them do the same thing to Nancy Pelosi...
