    How to Trade What Congress Trades on the Cheap







    What Goldman Sachs knows about crypto (that you don’t)

    If you want exposure to what elected officials are trading, there are two ways to do that. For one, you could always track down what each member of Congress is buying and selling and tag along, such as Nancy Pelosi.

    Most recently, Nancy Pelosi took a stake in the Tempus AI stock by buying 50 of the TEM January 2026 $20 call options in mid-January. In addition, we can see that Pelosi’s spouse bought between $250,000 and $500,000 worth of Amazon in January.

    Granted, your elected officials don’t have to disclose what they bought for about 30 to 45 days after the transaction, per the STOCK Act.

    Part of the STOCK Act “Amends the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 (EGA) to require specified individuals to file reports within 30 to 45 days after receiving notice of a purchase, sale, or exchange which exceeds $1,000 in stocks, bonds, commodities futures, and other forms of securities and subject to any waivers and exclusions.”

    And while you can always hunt down what they’re trading, you can gain big exposure to those trades with the two exchange-traded funds listed below.
