A New York Post analysis revealed that before first taking office in 1987, Pelosi and her husband reported between $610,000 and $785,000 in stocks in their portfolio — worth $133.7 million today, according to the latest estimates from Quiver Quantitative (2).

That means that Nancy Pelosi made a 16,930%, blasting past 2,300% for the Dow Jones over the same period of 37 years.

She didn't do that well without inside information about laws that would affect the stock market. A simple google search would have provided the figures, and logical reasoning would lead most to that conclusion. Stop with your bad faith bullshit.

I hate her too but she is by far not the only one. Why everyone focuses on her for stock trading is beyond me.

Because Republican voters ignore all the Republican politicians that do it, and Democratic voters are also sick of her actively blocking the attempts to make it illegal while she was speaker. Multiple times

George Soros made a billion dollars in a day. Melvin Capital lost billions and shuttered. Things like this happen to brokers.

I think stock trading should be banned for politicians, but I think its sill to ban Nancy Pelosi for having married one. She was never going to vote for that and I can't blame her.
