    Quick math says that’s about a 19-20% return annually for the 10yrs since 2014.

    The average APY of the S&P 500 over the same time period was about 11-12%.

    So definitely way outperforming the market, though maybe achievable with one or two good picks on individual stock?

    Definitely not a good look regardless.

      I think she and her fellow insider traders have a different perspective of what is or isn’t a ‘good look’. Will the news affect her negatively? No. Could it affect her positively? Absolutely, within her circle. Good look.

      It’s no real secret. Her husband has been buying tech stock LEAPS this whole time. Her portfolio took a huge hit during the tech sector downturn a few years back. Paul doubled down on the tech stocks which have all shot way back up. He put a bunch of money on Nvidia during the GPU shortage well before all this bullshit AI run. Nvidia is up something stupid like 800% since then.

      If anything I’d bet it’s because she’s connected in Silicon Valley. Nancy has the same info everyone in Congress would. But since her district is in the bay area she gets to rub elbows with the right people.
