She might be the She-Wolf of Wall Street.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-California) raked in between $7.8 and $42.5 million in 2024 — meaning her estimated net worth with venture capitalist hubby Paul Pelosi could now top out at $413 million, new financial disclosures showed.
*** The former House Speaker, who’s so infamous for trading Missouri Rep. Josh Hawley named a bill after her, and her husband dumped 5,000 shares of Microsoft stock worth an estimated $2.2 million in July — one of their largest sales in three years — a few short months before the FTC announced an antitrust investigation into the tech giant.
They also sold 2,000 shares — worth an estimated $525,000 — of Visa stock, less than three months before the credit card company was hit with a DOJ monopoly lawsuit.
***
Their best trade though might have been exercising a call option in December they bought in late 2023 at an estimated premium of $1.8 million, allowing them to nab 50,000 shares of hot AI chip stock NVIDIA for $12 a pop — less than one tenth of its market price.
In total the couple paid an estimated $2.4 million for the investment, which on paper is now worth more than $7.2 million. ***
The couple also paid between $600,000 and $1.25 million for a call option on California cybersecurity company Palo Alto Networks in February, the same week it was revealed the White House briefed lawmakers on a serious national security threat related to Russia.
The shares rose close to 20% in the days after the move.

In all, their investment portfolio pulled in an estimated 54% return in 2024, more than double the S&P 500’s 25% gain — and beating every large hedge fund, ***

Doesn’t the House still exempt itself from insider trading rules?
“At the very least, there should be a law requiring an immediate/contemporaneous disclosure ...”
I agree with you, but our elected leaders don’t care. They aren’t going to police themselves.
She may have a deal like Hillary Clinton did - the customer gets the wins, the broker eats the losses. Easy to make money in the market with that kind of deal.
Pelosi is feeding her husband insider information. Been going on for ages. But all investments are made by her husband and his associates. For sure her name is on some or all of the investment accounts. They are joint accounts.
Paul looks like he is getting a bit senile, so he must have advisors telling the best way to use the insider info feeds he gets from San Fran Nan.
A new get-rich-quick scheme for anybody that has the money to ‘invest’.
Find out who the brokers are for the Pelosis, and buy and sell whatever the broker does for the Pelosis, but do it exactly at the same time as the broker.
Can’t miss.
Resulting in multi-millionaires all over the country.
Who the HELL continues to vote for this kind of person? Answer: Those on government programs and corrupt elites. The days of Dems successfully duping the masses into believe they’re for the Blue Collar should have been over a long, long time ago. Yet here we are...
Brokers are obsolete.
Anyone can buy ans sell from anywhere at most anytime.
This is why so many people follow her husband’s trades - might as well benefit from the insider trading too.
The problem is that the trades are disclosed well after they are made. A lot of the Pelosi trades are options where timing is much more of a factor than a buy and hold strategy.
Will it all be buried with the wicked witch?
The problem is, most people you talk to, if you mention this just shake their heads and say: “They all do it”. No outrage. No demand for change. Just surrender.
Thanks, though on principle I don’t use or go by LLM answers.
Looks like de jure illegal and de facto a free pass, from the “Covid” example:
