How much unusual trading happens in Congress?

A lot.

Next time your friend says it's only the Dems or Republicans, show them the thread below. It is likely your fav politician has abused their power + will continue to do so.

A thread of unusual/nefarious congressional trading:
1/n

On 5/21, Nancy Pelosi played $AMZN + $AAPL calls. 50 calls of strikes 3000 + 100 respectively, 6/17/22. Also did $GOOGL before record earnings beat (July 2021) + $NVDA PRESPLIT on 6/3. 6/17/22.

$AMZN gets 50% of JEDI contract one month later.

Pelosi beats indices by 25%.
2/n

Congresman Gianforte:

March 18 2020 buys 1 million in $GSK + 15k $SNY.

Both receive FDA approval days later.

---

Congressman Gottheimer buying $MSFT leaps before $MSFT talks buying Discord.

He formerly worked at $MSFT, & is also on board of Congress entrepreneurship.
3/n

Congressman Langevin is an exceptional options trader.

In 2019 bought $BABA calls right before a Chinese trade deal.
Sold $HUYA, $ROKU, $FB calls RIGHT BEFORE Covid.

He sits on the Cybersecurity committee and continues trading. Most active options trader in House.
4/n

Rep. Pat Fallon, who sits on subcommittee responsible for DoD software contracts + cybersecurity, sells up to $250,000 in $MSFT right before JEDI contract cancellation in June.

He sits on the direct committee knowledgeable of this deal

Has been investigated before.
5/n

$OSK x USPS blocked by the House for postal deal.

---

Marjorie Taylor Green: Despite being against Big Tech vocally + Silicon valley, buys $AAPL, $AMD, $CRM, $QCOM, $SQ, $AMAT.
6/n

May 24th $NVDA announces 4-1 split, rallying stock 10%.

Who knew? Politicians.

Take Rep. Ed Perlmutter who bought #NVDA BEFORE the CHIPS Act was introduced in the House.

Or Nancy Wyden, who purchased $NVDA, too.

Numerous politicans hold $NVDA, $AMD, lobby for chip deal.
7/n

On June 9, Senate passed a tech manufacturing bill to counter China.

House members bought semi-conductor stocks BEFOREHAND.

16/n

Week before the House Judiciary Committee voted on big tech, Pelosi’s husband exercised a bullish Google bet, via ITM 5 million dollar $GOOGL calls.

This netted $5.3 million.

She did the EXACT same thing before $MSFT x Pentagon deal March 2021, exercising their LEAPs.
17/n

This will never stop. Congress has continually used their power to outperform the market.

Don't believe me?

It's free.

We must speak truth to power. We must level the data playing field. And we must become the whales.

🚨TRULY BREAKING NEWS🚨

On 5/21, Nancy Pelosi played $AMZN + $AAPL call options. She bought 50 calls of strikes 3000 + 100 respectively, 6/17/22.

She also did $NVDA PRESPLIT on 6/3. Aiming for 400 strike, 6/17/22.

Truly incredible...

The worst thing about these transactions is that they were done in MAY and JUNE, but disclosed in July!

Incredible when elected officials are using highly leveraged options on maybe private information

Paging @ryangrim @krystalball @esaagar @TheYoungTurks @FoxBusiness @cvpayne
And now the pentagon cancels their JEDI contract, which benefits $AMZN directly.

Someone always knows.

Hey Jo,

I highlight the losers extensively in unusualwhales.com/analytics/win.

You can see the bot has a ton of "losers". Most OTM options expire worthless, which is why you have to watch them and set stops

Using $SNDL as a lesson, you went in the most $SNDL 8-20 C $0.50 @ 6/18... Image
That alert is currently sitting at around 20% return. It peaked at around 50%. Did you take gains?

But let's see what's up with $SNDL.

The EOD close of +5000 whales is 59% bullish. Could be higher. Dark pool is quiet.

Looking at the sector flow, we see weed isn't fully... Image
rotating. The call prems across weed tickers is low relatively, so likely no new catalysts are expected.

Generally speaking, there is some volume in $TLRY and $GRWG, but the rest of the weed tickers are pretty dampened.

Let's check the flow over numerous whales + sentiment... Image

I investigated the house after the $WKHS x $OSK fiasco.

Few things:
1) Sen Wyden in $OSK since June (over 200k)
2) Lowenthal sold $RUN right before drops
3) Pelosi bought $AAPL, $TSLA, $DIS, $AMZN leaps before stimulus news released by her office.

Data: unusualwhales.com/i_am_the_senate
The investigation made me add Energy/Transportation House of Reps data:

1) Most members list their "spouse" as issuer
2) Pelosi has sold her $FB
3) Major $SPCE selling
4) Hickenlooper 100k into $LMACU SPAC (hot tip?)
5) Members have been selling out of Chinese $NIO and $BABA
Unfortunately USPS Board of Governors + Postal Regulatory Commission are exempt from financial disclosure.

No one is really doing this type of investigation work except a random whale on the internet who believes in data disparities.

One more thing.

Pelosi can run deep ITM calls on $TSLA and $AAPL.

McConnel can buy every $WFC dip.

Roberts can get $TSLA presplit and sell a month later.

No monitoring.

The internet uses information, they are limited, ridiculed, and the highest office gets involved.
And let me just say, numerous members of congress were caught insider trading based off COVID/vaccine info, and NOTHING HAPPENED.

Nothing.

Now, some person who likely lost their job made $5000 by following whales and they are the bad guy.

The flow will be followed.
Last thing, I promise.

Senators were campaigning against stimulus. Once the market collapsed in March, infinite QE was announced to save large funds/banks. This money was directly injected into these large institutions interest-free.

Retail got $1800 total.

Follow. the. flow.
