Pelosi Unveils Nvidia and Apple Shares, Alphabet Purchase and Amazon Sale

Former Speaker of the House Nancy PelosiD-Calif., reported a flurry of stock trades on Inauguration Day in December and early January involving several of the world’s biggest technology companies, an industry she and husband Paul previously traded in.

Congressional stock transaction disclosures, known as current transaction reports, cover transactions made by either a member of Congress or a spouse.

“Speaker Pelosi owns no stock, and has no prior knowledge or ongoing involvement in any of the transactions,” Ian Crager, a spokesman for the former speaker, told FOX Business.

Pelosi’s disclosure, according to her recent marketing report to the House of Representatives, shows that Alphabet, the parent company of Google, has bought 50 of Amazon’s calling options.

Both sets of call options cost $150 and are priced between $250,001 and $500,000. Call options give investors the right to buy shares of a company at a specified price.

Members of Congress on both sides of the political spectrum have introduced legislation in recent years that would bar lawmakers and their families from owning stocks. Bipartisan bills to that effect were introduced in the Senate last Congress, but none became law before the end of the 118th Congress, leaving the issue to the current Congress.
