According to the alternative data platform Quiver Quantitative, replicating Nancy Pelosi's stock trades would have yielded returns exceeding 720% since May 2014.

Yes, continue focusing on her and never talk about the Republicans that beat her every year.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 4 months ago (1 children)

just looking at the website, you can tell the target audience is specifically the 1% who want republicans to win. it'll be the same shit with pretty much anything with "business" or "financial" or "economy" in the name of the site

so yea, they will NEVER talk about the insider trading, cheating, fraud, etc. done by republicans

But even in social media, people have been so focused on her while ignoring that she's never #1 (heck, in 2022 she got beat by the S&P500) that I can't help but wonder if there's some underlying misogyny that explains it...

underlying misogyny

it's not underlying, it's blatant, and misogyny is a core part of the GOP platform. yes, republican women are most definitely misogynists

Pretty naive if you think only Republicans are complaining about her trades!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

everyone's absolute top priority for the next three and a half months should be keeping trump out of the white house. complaining about dems doesn't help to achieve that objective, it hinders it. when trump loses, by all means--criticize all the dems all the time. but at this point, bOtHsIdEs-ing anything is accomplishing nothing but strengthening an R win and weakening D

Please note that my original comment was me pointing out that people complain about a democrat while ignoring all the Republicans that do better than her, so please don't tell me I'm complaining about the elected Democrats, my only criticism of Democrats was against electors hating on Pelosi instead of their true enemy.

Whataboutism shouldn't be used by either side. She shouldn't be doing it.

Why is buying LEAPS of the biggest tech growth stocks in the S&P 500 wrong? That's literally Paul's strategy. It isn't much of a secret.

He's even lost money plenty of times on individual trades. He sold out of a 25,000 share Nvidia position. That at the time would have been worth around $600k. Had they held that position it would be worth $31M or so now. That's a huge miss for someone supposedly getting insider info.

Would you care to list them so the conversation can be more complete?

Copying a comment from a couple of weeks ago, the source is the website that made everyone really start paying attention to her by posting an infographic that made it easy to visualize the gains compared to the S&P500 but somehow it's only Pelosi that people complain about

2021 she's 6th behind 5 Republicans, 2022 she's under the S&P500 in 27th place, 2023 she's in 9th place
