众议院议长迈克·约翰逊(共和党-路易斯安那州)上周宣布,他支持禁止国会议员交易股票,这引发了关于持有股票是否与华盛顿特区立法工作相冲突的长期争论,尤其是当民选官员在其监管的领域拥有经济利益时。 根据Quiver Quantitative汇编的国会交易数据,去年国会中最活跃的五名交易员分别是众议员乔什·戈特海默(民主党-新泽西州),进行了526笔交易,交易额至少为9100万美元;南希·佩洛西(民主党-加利福尼亚州),进行了17笔交易,交易额为3775万美元;斯科特·富兰克林(共和党-佛罗里达州),进行了69笔交易,交易额为600万美元;汤米·图伯维尔(共和党-阿拉巴马州),进行了202笔交易,交易额为550万美元;以及马克韦恩·穆林(共和党-俄克拉荷马州),进行了71笔交易,交易额为440万美元。 佩洛西原本直言不讳地反对禁止国会议员及其家人交易股票的禁令,但她从丈夫、风险投资家保罗·佩洛西的投资中获利颇丰。这位前众议院议长在向媒体发表的声明中坚称,她“不持有任何股票”,并且“事先不知情,后续也未参与任何交易”。 根据南希今年早些时候提交的定期交易报告,保罗已经在市场上大举投资。 在2024年的最后一个交易日,他以500万至2500万美元的价格出售了31600股苹果普通股。当天,保罗·佩洛西还以100万至500万美元的价格出售了1万股英伟达普通股。今年1月,他分别买入了50份亚马逊和谷歌母公司Alphabet的看涨期权,行权价均为150美元。这两笔交易的价值都在25万至50万美元之间。 这些交易以及南希·佩洛西的丈夫进行的其他交易引发了人们的质疑:这些交易是否仅仅是精明的市场策略,还是基于获取机密信息。

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA)’s announcement last week that he supports a ban on members of Congress trading stocks gave new life to a perennial debate over whether stock holdings conflict with legislative work in Washington, D.C., especially when an elected official has a financial interest in a sector they oversee.

According to congressional trading data compiled by Quiver Quantitative, the five most active traders in Congress last year were Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), with 526 trades and at least $91 million in trade volume; Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), with 17 trades of $37.75 million; Scott Franklin (R-FL), with 69 trades of $6 million; Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), with 202 trades of $5.5 million; and Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), with 71 trades of $4.4 million.

Pelosi, originally an outspoken opponent of a ban prohibiting members of Congress and their families from trading stock, has profited significantly from her husband’s investments, venture capitalist Paul Pelosi. In statements to the press, the former House speaker maintains that she “does not own any stocks” and “has no prior knowledge or subsequent involvement in any transactions.”

According to a periodic transaction report Nancy submitted earlier this year, Paul is already making major moves in the market.

On the last trading day of 2024, he sold 31,600 shares of Apple common stock for between $5 million and $25 million. That day, Paul Pelosi also sold 10,000 shares of Nvidia common stock in the range of $1 million to $5 million. In January, he acquired 50 call options with a strike price of $150 in Amazon and Google’s parent company, Alphabet, respectively. Both purchases were worth between $250,000 and $500,000.

These transactions and others committed by Nancy Pelosi’s husband have fueled questions over whether they are simply market-savvy maneuvers or if the trades were based on access to confidential information.
