We are aware that Nancy Pelosi isn’t the only member of the Congress with amazing stock picking ability. And wouldn’t you know it, fresh-faced financial geniuses like Marjorie Taylor Green are popping up, conveniently dumping Treasuries to load up on tech stocks just before a tariff pause. Green sold around $75000 (give or take $25000) of US Treasury bills to fund purchases of more than a dozen stocks (mostly tech stocks) before Trump’s temporary tariff pause announcement.

In the past few decades, stock trading based on access to information not made readily public was considered a side-benefit to being a lawmaker in the United States. After huge public outcry against the trading activities of lawmakers, Congress passed the STOCK Act of 2012 that made it mandatory for lawmakers to disclose these trades publicly. Staffers at The New York Times had previously claimed that trading patterns showed that the longstanding concerns about the potential for conflicts of interest or the use of inside information by members of Congress were viable and should have been addressed on a priority basis. Some US lawmakers, including Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, have advocated for a blanket ban on members of Congress and their family members from dealing in individual stocks while in office. Pelosi, who had previously voiced her opposition to such proposals, nevertheless continues to dabble at the stock market.

During the 2020 pandemic, the stock trading activities of Pelosi went widely viral on social media as retail traders created the Pelosi Tracker, an account on social networking platform X that disclosed trades made by Paul Pelosi, the husband of the House Speaker who is an investor and owns and operates Financial Leasing Services, a real estate and venture capital firm. A spokesperson for the former House Speaker has said that Pelosi is not involved in the investment decisions made by her husband. This admission seems rather difficult to digest given the insider information that Pelosi is privy to due to her senior position in the House. Retail traders have since started mimicking the trading activity of the Pelosi Tracker to cash in on the popularity of the tracker. The reviews of such mimicking activity on platforms like Reddit seem mixed at best, but their popularity is uncontested.

For this article, we consulted Capitol Trades, a platform that tracks the stock trading activity of politicians in the United States. It is important to clarify that the stocks listed below were picked from the public record of investments Pelosi and her family have made in the past few months.
