P-E-L-O-S-I

Goodbye to one of the best stock market trading strategies in the world.

For the last decade, savvy investors have quietly followed one simple rule: Buy what Nancy Pelosi buys.

And it’s worked – extraordinarily well.

Since 2014, Pelosi’s portfolio has delivered a stunning 685% return, which is more than triple the S&P 500’s 193% return over that same time period.

Copy Nancy Pelosi's Trades

This kind of outperformance isn’t just rare – it’s nearly unheard of.

But that piggyback strategy may be coming to an end.

Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) has reintroduced a bill that could permanently shut down the congressional trading playbook.

It’s called the PELOSI Act (short for Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments).

Yes, it’s a not-so-subtle jab at the most successful political trader of our time.

It would ban lawmakers and their spouses from owning, buying, or selling individual stocks while in office.

If it passes, one of the most watched, most copied portfolios in the world will go dark.

What’s in the PELOSI Act?

The proposal is simple: Members of Congress (and their spouses) would have 180 days to sell their individual stock holdings.

They could still invest in diversified ETFs, mutual funds, or Treasury bonds. But no more Tesla calls, no more timely Nvidia buys, and no more insider-esque stock trades.

Lawmakers caught violating the law would be forced to surrender any profits to the U.S. Treasury, while ethics committees could also impose fines of 10% per improper trade.

And here’s what makes it different this time: This bill actually has momentum.

Trump has said he’d “absolutely” sign a ban on congressional trading, while Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries are onboard too.

What was once a political stunt is suddenly gaining real bipartisan support.

Take Advantage While You Can

There’s a whole cottage industry built around Pelosi’s trades.

Reddit threads, Substacks, X (Twitter) accounts, even ETFs – all dedicated to one thing: tracking congressional trades and jumping in right after.

And why not? It’s worked.

Pelosi’s disclosures have historically come ahead of huge moves in stocks.

Her latest filings show fresh buys in AMZN, GOOG, NVDA, TEM, and VST – a mix of megacap tech and emerging plays that I happen to like as well.

(More on TEM soon)

However, the PELOSI Act could soon ground Nancy Pelosi’s market-beating trades.

For now, you can view her full portfolio here.

With the legislation gaining traction, this resource may not be available for long, so I recommend taking advantage while you can.

After all, her portfolio did triple the return of the S&P 500…
