Where do politicians put their money?
We'll walk through one real trade — what they bought, what it teaches, and what $100 in that trade would be worth today.
Members of Congress have to tell us when they buy and sell stocks.

Here's the trade. Nancy Pelosi bought NVIDIA — about $375,000 worth.
We can't read her mind. But we can describe what we can see — and the questions a careful person might ask before they ever followed a trade like this.
What we can see
- Filed 7 days after the trade — well inside the STOCK Act's 45-day disclosure window.
- 1 other tracked investor traded NVDA the same week.
- Since this trade, NVDA is up about 9.29%.
- Nancy Pelosi has traded NVDA 2 times in the past year.

- NVDA has moved meaningfully since this trade. What part of the thesis played out (or did not)?

Sector returns are equal-weighted across this investor's disclosed buys over 24 months; SPY is the same-period benchmark. Educational use only — not advice.
What if you had put $100 in NVIDIA the day she filed this?
This is what the price actually did. We're not telling you whether it was a good idea — we're showing you the shape of the bet.
Historical results only. Past performance does not guarantee future results. This isn't a recommendation — it's the shape of the bet, after the fact.
The next two steps are interactive — you walk the trade and decide before you see what they did.
