The calls to ban members of Congress from buying and selling stocks and options have grown over the years.
One of the most followed members of Congress for stock trading activity is former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), thanks to the large purchases made by her husband Paul Pelosi.
What Happened: Pelosi disclosed several new stock trades on Wednesday, ahead of the Fourth of July holiday, continuing a recent tradition of reporting trades around market holidays.
The transactions, as reported by Benzinga's Government Trades page, are as follows:
Bought 20 call options $Broadcom (AVGO.US)$, $800 strike price, June 20, 2025 expiration date, purchase size is $1 to $5 million
Bought 10,000 shares $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ on June 26, purchase size $1 to $5 million
Sold 2,500 shares $Tesla (TSLA.US)$, sale size $250,000 to $500,000
Sold 2,000 shares $Visa (V.US)$, sale size $500,000 to $1 million
"Prediction fulfilled!!!," Congresstrading tweeted. "She always reports right before a holiday to avoid media coverage, but she is actually becoming MORE predictable this way."
Pelosi previously disclosed buying call options in $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ valued at $1 to $5 million ahead of the Christmas holiday, with the filing coming on the Friday before Christmas.
The Congresswoman has often filed stock disclosures on Fridays or around holidays.
Why It's Important: Pelosi's husband Paul Pelosi is a venture capitalist who regularly makes sizable stock and options purchases.
The former Speaker of the House has said she does not share stock tips or inside information with her husband, but the timing of several trades has drawn scrutiny from investors.
The Visa shares sold were listed as partial, which means the couple still owns shares of the credit card company. It was reported several years ago on "60 Minutes" that the Pelosis participated in the Visa IPO, securing 5,000 shares at an IPO price of $44. The Visa transaction drew red flags at the time, with the company's headquarters located in Pelosi's home district.
Increased interest in Congress trading activity, which has outperformed leading market indexes in some years, has led to several ETFs launching.
The $UNUSUAL WHALES SUBVERSIVE REPUBLICAN TRADING ETF (KRUZ.US)$ and $UNUSUAL WHALES SUBVERSIVE DEMOCRATIC TRADING ETF (NANC.US)$ track the trading activity of Republican and Democratic members of Congress, respectively.
A new ETF is also on the way from Tuttle Capital that will combine trades from both parties, and base holdings on the trading accuracy and performance of members of Congress and their committee assignments.
多年來，禁止國會議員買賣股票和期權的呼聲越來越高。
由於她丈夫保羅·佩洛西的大宗交易，前衆議院議長南希·佩洛西（民主黨）是國會最受關注的股票交易活動議員之一。
發生了什麼:在7月4日假期前的週三，佩洛西披露了幾筆新的股票交易，延續了最近報告假期期間交易的慣例。
按照Benzinga政府交易頁面的報告，以下是交易:
"預言成真！"Congresstrading發推文稱。"她總是在假期前報告以避免媒體報道，但這種做法實際上讓她變得更加可預測。"
Pelosi此前披露已購買了價值100萬至500萬美元的看漲期權 $英偉達 (NVDA.US)$在聖誕節前的星期五提交的申報文件中。
國會女議員經常在星期五或假期附近提交股票申報。
爲什麼重要: 佩洛西的丈夫保羅·佩洛西是一名風險投資家，經常進行大規模的股票和期權交易。
衆議院前議長表示，她不會與丈夫分享股票提示或內部信息，但是幾筆交易的時間引起了投資者的關注。
Visa股票的部分銷售意味着這對夫婦仍然持有該信用卡公司的股票。許多年前，在"60分鐘"中有報道稱，佩洛西夫婦參加了Visa公司的IPO，以44美元的發行價獲得了5,000股。當時，Visa的總部位於佩洛西的家庭選區，該交易引起了紅旗。
對國會交易活動越來越感興趣，一些ETF表現比市場領先，已經推出。
分析師團隊剛剛選出他們認爲投資者現在可以買入的10只最佳股票……而超微電腦不在其中。有可能這10只被選出的股票未來幾年會產生巨大回報。$UNUSUAL WHALES SUBVERSIVE REPUBLICAN TRADING ETF (KRUZ.US)$和頁面。$UNUSUAL WHALES SUBVERSIVE DEMOCRATIC TRADING ETF (NANC.US)$分別跟蹤共和黨和民主黨國會成員的交易活動。
Tuttle Capital即將推出一個新的ETF，將結合兩黨的交易，並根據國會議員及其委員會的交易精度和表現進行基礎持股。
