    A New York Post analysis revealed that before first taking office in 1987, Pelosi and her husband reported between $610,000 and $785,000 in stocks in their portfolio — worth $133.7 million today, according to the latest estimates from Quiver Quantitative (2).

    That means that Nancy Pelosi made a 16,930%, blasting past 2,300% for the Dow Jones over the same period of 37 years.

    She didn’t do that well without inside information about laws that would affect the stock market. A simple google search would have provided the figures, and logical reasoning would lead most to that conclusion. Stop with your bad faith bullshit.

      George Soros made a billion dollars in a day. Melvin Capital lost billions and shuttered. Things like this happen to brokers.

      I think stock trading should be banned for politicians, but I think its sill to ban Nancy Pelosi for having married one. She was never going to vote for that and I can’t blame her.
