Copying “Capitol Hill Stock God” Nancy Pelosi, the return far surpasses Buffett

US lawmakers, led by “Capitol Hill Goddess” Nancy Pelosi, have always been criticized by the American public for using their power to obtain insider trading news to sell or buy stocks. For example, on January 24, 2020, the Senate Health and Foreign Relations Committee held a secret meeting. The committee informed lawmakers about the severity of the coronavirus and predicted a pandemic in the US. After the meeting, lawmakers from both parties attending the meeting immediately sold stocks in the catering and entertainment industry and aggressively bought shares of biopharmaceutical and medical companies. In March of the same year, the US stock market experienced four meltdowns, but it wasn't until after the stock market was blown up that news of the 100 million yuan stock acquisition was revealed by the media.

By 2022, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said that the Senate would soon vote on a bill prohibiting members of Congress from trading individual stocks. Today, two years later, Pelosi is no longer Speaker of the House of Representatives, and members of the National Assembly can still trade individual stocks as long as they disclose their transactions within 45 days.

According to reports, Pelosi's husband Paul bought Nvidia's call options worth 1 million to 5 million US dollars on November 22 of last year. However, Pelosi delayed until Christmas before slowly announcing the deal.

Since then, Nvidia's stock price has soared over the past few months, which has undoubtedly enabled the Pelosi family to make a lot of money on this investment. According to Christopher Josephs, co-founder of Autopilot, he estimates that the Pelosi family's recent investment is about 2.5 million US dollars, and said that since the relevant stock price has risen by more than 50% in just 3 months, their family has netted about 1.25 million US dollars as a result.

Generally speaking, the annual salary of members of the US House of Representatives is about 174,000 US dollars. This also means that within about three months, the former US Speaker of the House of Representatives has earned several times the wealth of his annual salary from Nvidia alone.

What's interesting is that Pelosi and Nvidia have actually “been in a relationship for a long time.” Just a few weeks before the US will vote on whether to provide large-scale subsidies to the chip manufacturing industry in 2022, Pelosi's husband bought Nvidia call options worth more than 1 million dollars. However, Paul, who was on the cusp, sold these call options only after Pelosi was criticized for the timing of stock purchases.

However, Pelosi and her husband Paul still hold a large number of stocks. Of these, the 8 stocks that have been traded recently are,

Palo Alto Networks Inc. (PANW)

Nvidia Corp. (NVDA)

Apple Inc. (AAPL)

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)

Alphabet Inc. (GOOG)

Tesla Inc. (TSLA)

AllianceBernstein Holding LP (AB)

Walt Disney Co. (DIS)

According to a set of industry statistics, the Pelosi family's portfolio has appreciated 83.5% in value in the last half of the year. Its performance last year was also quite good, with a net profit of 65% for the whole year, far surpassing the S&P 500 Index of 25% and Berkshire Hathaway's return of 15.8%, making it one of the “strongest stock traders” in the US Congress in 2023.

ETF fund manager Christian Cooper said that politicians may have an opportunity to get “inside information” that ordinary retail investors don't know, which explains how proficient they are in stock trading. This has further fueled retail investors' interest in Pelosi's portfolio as they look to replicate her strategy. Stock traders on social media platforms are demanding the use of the Nancy Pelosi stock tracker.

Now, at last, ordinary people are able to follow Pelosi and other politicians and get high rewards.

First, prepare a trading platform. You can regularly monitor stock prices at the traditional brokerage firm Futu or BiyaPay, a new multi-asset trading wallet, and buy or sell stocks at the right time.

Among them, Biyapay can not only deposit USDT to trade US stocks and Hong Kong stocks, but also supports depositing USDT to withdraw US dollars and Hong Kong dollars to a bank account, then withdraw fiat money to invest in Futu. This method can be said to be fast, has no quota limits, no deposit and withdrawal problems, and can keep an eye on stock market trends at any time.

A New York securities company called Subversive ETFs (Subversive ETFs) launched a new fund project called Disruptive Whales Democratic ETF in February 2023, code NANC. This is an ETF fund. Simply put, this type of fund mainly tracks changes in bond market indices.

Disruptive Capital said they will use big data to track stock securities bought or sold by Democratic congressmen and their spouses, and each will build an investment portfolio of 500-600 stocks. When transactions are discovered, the fund will also follow up.

Disruptive Capital claims that it uses collective action and the wisdom of the masses to help ordinary people defeat the elite.

Since its launch more than a year ago, this ETF has achieved remarkable results. As of February 2024, the return reached 30%, surpassing 24% of S&P 500 index funds during the same period.

As of March 31, 2024, the annualized return on the fund's net asset value had reached 37.52%.

Looking at the ETF's holdings, huge bets on big tech stocks have contributed to the excellent performance over the past year. Microsoft alone accounts for nearly 10% of the fund's share, and its top 10 holdings account for 50% of the fund's high concentration.

Other top tech stocks in the NANC ETF include Amazon, Apple, Nvidia, Salesforce, Alphabet. After the merger with Microsoft, these six stocks accounted for 32% of the fund's total market capitalization. Other major holding companies include Crowdstrike and Netflix, as well as 719 other shares.

Judging from the actual situation where technology stocks are currently leading the way, there is no doubt that Nancy Pelosi is a proper big winner this year.
