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.

Step 1 of 5

Members of Congress have to tell us when they buy and sell stocks.

That's a federal law called the . Their disclosures are public — anyone can read them. Most people never do, because the filings are dense and full of jargon. We'll do it together. One trade. Plain English.

Step 2 of 5

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.

Trade Lens shows patterns and asks questions. It never recommends actions. Use it to guide your own research.

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.

Questions to investigate

  1. A small number of other investors traded NVDA nearby in time. Is there a connection between them?
  2. NVDA has moved meaningfully since this trade. What part of the thesis played out (or did not)?

Step 3 of 5

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.

$100 in NVDA on 2026-01-16 would be worth$109.29(+9.3%)

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.

You've seen the shape of it
