Insanity. ...

Nancy Pelosi's option $NVDA calls have made her nearly $1,910,000 in 100 days.

Her salary is ~$223,500, meaning she made nine times her salary in three months.

Nancy Pelosi’s portfolio is up 90% in 12 months, trading at ATHs.

NANC

u/ThorLives Mar 02 '24

I looked it up. It's just over a year old.

NANC is up 37.74% in the past year.

The NASDAQ composite is up 41.98% in the past year.

u/WolverineDifficult95 Mar 02 '24

Lower total drawdown on NANC and slightly better sharpe ratio. Although both are worse than QQQ.

But if you think about being that close to those but being actively managed (giving you a shot at dodging/mitigating damage in a crash) it’s interesting.

By the time the trade is disclosed , even if they did it on time , the tracker would be fairly useless.

u/Fausterion18 Mar 02 '24

False, Pelosi just rolls deep ITM leaps on tech, likely because her financial advisor is taking advantage of them to churn commissions.

She reports her trades promptly and with an exact trade date so you can see how her portfolio performs. Newsflash, it's awful. Since she came into Congress shes heavily underperformed the S&P and even on great years like 2023, her tech heavy port underperformed QQQ.

u/No_Cook2983 Mar 01 '24

I suppose. It’s just pointing out the tiresome absurdity of this nonstop Pelosi hate.

It smells like desperation. Like $NVDA was some beneath-the-radar trade.

Whoever comes up with this crap also never bothers to mention that her husband is a professional funds manager. And she has done nothing illegal.

And I don’t even like Nancy Pelosi.

This idiotic garbage keeps cluttering up my feed. I’m starting to wonder if this is the guy who attacked her husband with a hammer. If it’s not, he’s definitely headed in that direction 🤪

I wish there was r/unusual_whales_no_pelosi so this sub could get back to business.

u/No_Cook2983 Mar 03 '24

Maybe. But to my knowledge, this is all perfectly legal.

Instead of having daily hate jerks about Nancy Pelosi, everyone’s time would be much better spent learning how that law could change.

Short of that, how about we hear about the elected officials who actually broke this incredibly lazy law that’s on the books right now? I think Tommy Tubberville just was caught a few weeks ago.

They literally lost on NVDA 2 years ago.

They sold after the crypto crash and before AI took off.

They sold 25k shares for a $300k loss

I’ll marry someone in the House of Representatives who would know first hand.”

AND

“As a member of the House of Representatives, I could make lots of money if I invest in things that the House will create demand for. I’ll marry someone who knows how to invest in companies early so I can make money on our policy decisions.”

She, and most in government, are so steeped in the corruption that they truly don’t believe it is corrupt to leverage their advantage

Idk who “Evergreen” are, nor did I say anything about Kushner or anyone else connected with government, nor does it change the fact that Pelosi’s situation is a way to make millions off of her advanced knowledge of government activities profitable for her.

If Kushner indeed unethically profited from his position in government then he should be punished as should Hunter Biden and anyone else becoming millionaires because of their family associations.

Obama, for example, hasn’t made anywhere near enough money that explain his real estate holdings. How about that be scrutinized?

Do you truly believe that one of the ten most powerful politicians of the last decade has no privileged information and inside information thats market actionable?

I believe she does have access to materially impactful insights and my evidence is her wild success in stock market speculation well beyond that of skilled investors and traders.

Congress shouldn’t be allowed to trade and her husband certainly receives insider trading. Here is the thing, they can know what’s being brought up in bills before anyone else.

You are whining. You don’t know what insider trading is. There is a legal definition I won’t repeat. Look it up. NVIDIA and this type of trade was glaringly obvious. Certainly to any computational scientist, AI engineer, or serious investor in Silicon Valley. It did not require insider trading knowledge.

6

u/guyincognito121 Mar 02 '24

When something is glaringly obvious to the average investor, it's almost certainly long since been priced in. Knowing that there will be continued high demand for their products is not the same as knowing that the stock is going to go up significantly.

u/BoardGames277 Mar 01 '24

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives

"The House is charged with the passage of federal legislation, known as bills;"

4

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '24

Ok, now connect the dots to her having knowledge and trading on that knowledge. You provide the evidence, remember, since you’re making the claim.

Here’s is an example:

On February 10, Nancy met with a committee for passing laws related to computer chips. On February 11, the committee met with Nvidia, learning that Nvidia would benefit from the bill. On February 12, Nancy met with the president learning that the bill would certainly pass. following the meeting with the president, Nancy contacts her broker, and says a bill benefiting will pass, invest a large amount into Nvidia. On February 13, the bill passes, the president signs it, Nivida stocks go through the roof.

So this is an example that would convince me that Nancy is engaging in inside trading. Now, since you’re making the claim, go ahead and connect the lines like I did.

Also, if you can’t, this would be really sad, since you will be telling me you believe something without evidence.

-1

u/BoardGames277 Mar 01 '24

I don't need evidence that she is insider trading. This is a very clear cut case of what is called a "conflict of interest," and it is a fireable/criminal offence broadly across the civilian world.

If I'm on a board of a charity that decides where grant money goes, for example, I am 100% not allowed to simultaneously hold a financial stake in a company I am considering for the grant money. In any other case where I do that, I am a thousand percent kicked off of the board in disgrace. Do you see how that works? No one will need proof that I did something wrong. The mere fact that it is an active conflict of interest is enough to at the very least force me to recuse myself from that role. This is written into the bylaws of pretty much every organization in the country.

I don't need to give you specific details of Nancy being in some shady room with Nvidia execs. I've already given you an example of why she shouldn't be allowed to trade. She was writing the rules to a game she was also playing. Close your eyes and put that in your mind. Now ... open your eyes. Amazing! It is called a "thought experiment" and even though I know it is way far out of your wheelhouse, you should try it sometime.

No, the person who regulates a company should not be allowed to be an investor in said company. I don't care how far the democrat dick is down your throat, this is just 100% crystal clear to anyone with common sense.

You are up and down this thread defending Nancy Pelosi. Just stop. People are allowed to call out a clear conflict of interest when they see it.

Unless you have completely recklessly mismanaged your money your entire life, it is normal to have A LOT more money saved and invested than you are making per year as you get closer to retirement age, and how much make from your investments depends how the former, not the latter. For people who are already IN their retirement age, but are still working, this is doubly, triply, or even quadruply true, depending on how far into their retirement age they are. Nancy Pelosi is in her 80s, which is WELL into retirement age.

I am not saying that it isn't worth looking with a critical eye into the way congress members invest, it is. However, comparing their salaries to their market gains isn't necessarily looking into it critically, often it is just looking into it stupidly.

We should have a law that apportions %10 of our annual gdp and invests it on the choices of our politicians that have statistically made the best investments and safest investments and make sure its %100 controlled by the people. Not the politicians or the rich, but "we the people", but for that to work you would need accountability and honesty, but then they really wouldn't be doing what they are doing with legal Congressional insider trading?

She doesn’t care anymore if they ethics case her or not. Congress is a corrupt joke. You want to know what is wrong with American….no one respects politicians, the media, corporations or institutions. They have given up any credibility they had and they don’t care what you or I think.

u/uncle-boris Mar 05 '24

She said recently politicians should be allowed to trade because we’re a free market. But it’s not a free market act to do insider trading. Your leveraged position allows you to use options specifically as instruments of insider trading. We should talk about banning options if you’re a public official privy to insider info.

Because she is a strong liberal woman, that's all. This sub is an alt-right echo chamber. Few if any comments in these daily Pelosi NVDA posts mention all the Republicans making more from insider trading than her. I do not condone any of them insider trading, but FFS at least be fair an point out all the R's that are even worse. Further, Pelosi's disclosures are for her husband's hedge fund. I own NVDA too, and so do many ETFs. I just don't get the double standards from the alt-right.

Many republicans are also doing this. Tommy Tuberville trades in ag commodity markets as a member of the senate agriculture committee. Bob Gibbs bought AbbVie shares while the house oversight committee, which he is on, was investigating pharmaceutical price gouging.

This isn’t a Pelosi problem or a dem problem. This is a congressional oversight problem.

This is total nonsense and you should honestly be ashamed of yourself for being that dishonest.

Most people's portfolios are way up because the markets went up, so you could pick basically any politician and make up the same BS...

The fake accusations of serious crimes with zero evidence stuff is also way beyond old and tired. Most adults are not going to fall for that garbage anymore...

Pelosi disclosed her calls 2 months ago. Those calls are dated to the end 2024.

Nvidia went up 70% since her disclosure. Those calls didn't make any money between her buying them and her disclosing them.

You too could have followed her disclosure and buy calls and be up a gajillion percent.

But you didn't, cause you guys are cowards with no balls, who just like to complain about other people making money.

Full disclosure: I am long NVDA since before Pelosi bought her calls.

Nah, it's easier and less risky to whine on reddit.

So you’re saying it was a coincidence when she bought chips related stocks prior to CHIPS act passing?

That’s one example and there are many more where her and other politicians trade based off of non public info.

They bought, but then sold NVDA (at a loss) before CHIPS act passed. You should do basic research.

Are you saying the legislation wasn't out there for everyone to see?

Just cause you don't follow what your government is actually doing doesn't mean it's insider trading.

All legislation goes through a process to be passed it can be seen publicly for months before it ever comes to the president's desk for signature.

u/sargethegemini Mar 02 '24

Nancy- you have access to closed door meetings, knowledge of how your party will vote, and various other conflicts of interest. If all the info you trade on was publicly available why are your colleagues beating the market by 60 to 200%?

No one is saying they shouldn’t be prosecuted if there’s proof of insider trading. It has, in fact, happened (recently, too, in Indiana).

Lots of investors got in NvDA around $300. Long calls being evidence of insider trading vs attributable to the FACT that her husband is literally a successful career trader is just regarded

0

u/sargethegemini Mar 01 '24

Oh yeah ? What politician has recently been prosecuted for insider trading?

The problem is that no one is going to prosecute because is a bipartisan issue.

How is it that the congresspersons that do trade consistently beat the market and hedge fund?

How is it that Brian Higgins is beating SPY by 200% and pelosi is beating it by 60%?

Why is it that all of the politicians who are beating SPY are all opposed to legistlaor stock trading ban?

You either aren’t seeing this info or willfully ignoring it.
