- π The stock market experienced its second-best day ever, surging 12% after President Trump announced a pause to his tariff plan.
- β οΈ Democrats are accused of orchestrating a smear campaign against Marjorie Taylor Greene, alleging insider trading.
Examining Marjorie Taylor Greene's Trades
- π§ Accusations against Greene stem from her purchase of stocks following the tariff pause announcement.
- π° Expert Ross Given argues Greene's trades were not indicative of insider trading due to the small investment amounts (typically a few thousand dollars) and the unremarkable performance of the stocks she bought (e.g., Amazon, Lululemon, Tesla).
- π― Stocks that would have significantly benefited from the tariff pause, like airlines and cruise companies, were not among Greene's purchases.
Contrasting with Alleged Democrat Insider Trading
- π Ross Given presents a case against Democrat Representative Susie Lee, who bought shares in German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall before a significant increase in military spending.
- π Lee's investment of 184% in less than a year is contrasted with Greene's minimal gains, highlighting a pattern of potentially illicit gains.
- π§ Dan Crenshaw is also defended against insider trading accusations, with his financial disclosures showing investments primarily in hard assets and small holdings in typical large-cap stocks.
The Nancy Pelosi Case: A "Smoking Gun"
- π‘ The strongest evidence presented targets Nancy Pelosi's investment in Tempest AI (TEM), an AI stock.
- π Pelosi purchased call options on Tempest AI, a leveraged bet indicating high confidence in a rapid stock price increase.
- π° Within one month, her investment more than quadrupled, with options increasing from $15 to $70.
- π A key connection is made to Lauren Sylvvis, Senior Vice President of External Affairs at Tempest AI, who has extensive ties to the Democratic party, including working at a left-leaning law firm that donated heavily to Democrats and holding senior roles at the FDA and HHS.
- π Sylvvis's government roles involved working closely with lawmakers, and the HHS Region 9 headquarters is located in the Nancy Pelosi Federal Building, suggesting potential access and influence.
The Opportunity for Retail Investors
- π° Ross Given emphasizes that politicians' and corporate insiders' trades are public record, offering a legal and ethical way for retail investors to follow their lead.
- π Given's firm has reportedly beaten the market every year since 2017 by analyzing these public disclosures.
- π A free training event is offered on May 8th at 3 p.m. EST, where attendees can learn how to identify and capitalize on these insider trades, with a free pick provided upon registration.
