Lmao you click the link and it goes to Gavin Newsom’s own website. Why is he more worried about protecting his image versus protecting his people?? @GavinNewsom

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

A lot of misinformation out there.

Just launched a new site to ensure the public has access to fact-based data around the Southern CA wildfires.

The TRUTH:
- CA did NOT cut our firefighting budget. We have nearly doubled the size of our firefighting army and built the world’s largest aerial firefighting fleet.
- CA has INCREASED forest management ten-fold since we took office.
- California will NOT allow for looting.

I’ve never understood why insurance scammers - like the ones who try to purposefully get hit with a car - don’t just all live in NYC. I’ve been hit almost 3 times today in midtown. Shit would be a goldmine

This is absurd! Let the bootleggers bootleg! A lot of people want the real stuff and pay up for it.

This provides a lower cost option to more peeps and is apart of the culture. Jamie Dolans net worth will be fine, id think!

Self-made billionaire Xavier Niel says young entrepreneurs should “go to jail,” like he did in 2004, to help make their fortunes, per Bloomberg.

Stating the obvious and has been going on for a while, but this is incredibly insane.

Many asset managers don’t allow their employees (or employee households) to trade at all (even if their firm doesn’t have a position). But pelosi’s husband can?? Make this make sense….

Nvidia $NVDA is now the most valuable company in the world.

Nancy Pelosi's made +$7 million trading $NVDA, 35 times her salary. I want you to understand how she entered this trade, why it worked, & show you the how Congress has a history of benefiting itself despite conflicts when governing important US companies:

Let’s start in December 2021. After a history of unusual trading, from Visa, trading during the GFC, and buying before stimulus bills, Nancy Pelosi was asked if she thinks US Congress members should trade despite legislative conflicts by Bryan Metzger.

She said, "We are a free market economy. Congress should be able to participate in that". Insane.

In Jan 2022 Unusual Whales releases their most famous trading report, showing Congress beat the market. Nancy Pelosi is listed as the fifth best trader in Congress.

That report creates a flurry of media and outrage, while the report continues to go viral. Within seven days of publishing, five new bills banning members of Congress from trading are proposed.

In the summer of 2022, it is revealed that Nancy Pelosi was trading millions of dollars of $NVDA, Nvidia before voting on a US semiconductor bill by the Biden administration.

We reported on her trading to outrage by the public. Interestingly, for the first time in history, a few days later Nancy Pelosi disclosed trades made on the same day they were made. This is likely the fastest disclosure in history of US Congress. She reported that she sold out of her Nvidia position, the first time she divested from conflicts in her portfolio. Despite taking 45 days for every other disclosure, she made this one instantly. Hilarious.

One month later Nancy Pelosi proposed alongside Representative Lofgren her own Congressional trading ban, a bill which was incredibly weak and filled with loopholes.

And then, Pelosi stopped trading. Well, until her $NVDA leveraged bet.

One week after Chinese President Xi visits her home state of California, and before Biden announces new US semiconductor focuses, her husband decided to buy two million dollars of deep in-the-money Nvidia calls, the same company she divested from due to conflicts a year earlier. No more conflicts anymore, according to her husband.

What’s worse On Dec 11th, before she bought in November, U.S. Commerce Secretary Raimondo said that Nvidia could sell slower AI chips to China to comply with US export controls. And then, on Dec 28th, NVDA launched a modified version of an advanced chip precisely to get around US restrictions.

Nvidia now has released new US chips, and has hit all time highs again and again. $NVDA is now the most valuable company in the world, and before anyone traded it, she did.

She was not alone though. Numerous members of Congress bought $NVDA early, before the massive rallies! Of course, none of this is insider trading, but it does seem unusual, especially given scrutiny of Nvida by the government.

Why does she trade ITM tech calls, you may ask? It allows for one to be bullish with less capital upfront, and the contracts move 1 delta to the stock. We wrote more about it on our research site, which you can find in our bio.

If you think that one of the most powerful politicians in the US can, or even should, have leveraged bets over an incredibly important company to US infrastructure, that is okay. But there might be something worthwhile in understanding how members of Congress trade, and the data suggests as such. Pelosi herself has lost a ton on trades, including when she divested from $NVDA last year, and yet despite that she decided to enter into it again and is now up nearly $7 million on her shares and options positions.

And so we will keep reporting on Pelosi, and Congress, and the history of unusual trading. Pelosi's portfolio itself is up around 100% year to date on her portfolio!!! If you want to find and follow her portfolio, you can do so on Unusual Whales in our Portfolio tab.

Pelosi has made likely twenty million this year alone off her tech portfolio, with a networth close to likely a third of billion. No matter what trade or conflict though, I will report on it. If you believe this is an important issue, I ask you share this tweet with your friends, and family.

Congress cannot hide from me, I will continue to report on the data, and I will not stop until Congress is banned from trading.

@theRealKiyosaki as much as people give this dude crap. He was 100000% (and I cannot stress this enough) right about Blockfi. If you listen to his podcast circa 2020, he asked all the right questions and was correct.

While I lost money on the platform, thinking he was wrong!
