Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband, Paul, have demonstrated an impressive knack for striking gold in the stock market. Their talent for timing trades has ignited a firestorm of allegations suggesting they may be playing with insider information. Given the Pelosis’ history, one has to wonder if they’ve got a crystal ball in the living room or if they’re just one of the luckiest couples to ever step foot in Congress.
Take for instance the recent surge of Tempus AI stock—a company that has seen its stock price shoot through the roof shortly after Pelosi disclosed purchasing 50 call options at just $20 apiece. For those who don’t speak stock market, this means Pelosi can snap up shares at that low price any time before the options expire. As the stock has skyrocketed from under $32 to nearly $82, her initial play could easily net the couple a fortune. It’s practically the federal government’s equivalent of a winning lottery ticket.
🚨🇺🇸PELOSI: STOCK MARKET PSYCHIC OR INSIDER TRADING QUEEN?
Nancy Pelosi did it again – she bought $100K of Tempus AI, and boom – 113% gains in weeks.
Her "perfectly timed" move came right before a $300M merger, something federal agencies likely knew in advance.

The enthusiasm didn’t stop there. After Pelosi publicly announced her trade, the stock not only climbed after her initial purchase but ballooned, making her investment worth four times what it was. Speculation abounds about how many regular investors now frantically follow the Pelosis’ financial moves, trying to ride the coattails of this masterful money-making duo. Never has the phrase “follow the leader” been so applicable—at least when the leader is known for her financial acumen.
Amidst this lucrative investment spree, the crux of the issue rests on what prompted this latest play with Tempus AI. On the very day her stock purchase was disclosed, the company announced an exciting yet questionable tech release: an AI health concierge app. Given the uncanny timing, some observers could legitimately wonder if there’s more than just coincidence at play here. After all, when a public official makes a move right after a company’s game-changing announcement, it raises more eyebrows than a high school reunion.
Diving deeper, Pelosi’s track record is alarming for anyone who values fair play in financial markets. Reports suggest she has consistently outperformed the stock market, claiming returns that eclipse the S&P 500 by a stunning margin. As her portfolio flourishes, so do the calls for scrutiny regarding politicians using their privileged access to information. If the rules of the game seem skewed, could it be time to level the financial playing field? With a popular subscription service emerging to track them, more investors are willing to gamble by mirroring Pelosi’s stock picks—even if it means handing their hard-earned cash to a scheme that feels morally dubious at best.
