Nancy Pelosi's Husband Buys Millions In Chip Stocks Right Before Vote On Massive Chip Subsidy
[DAILYCALLER] House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
’s husband Paul bought up to $5 million in stock of a computer chip company ahead of a vote on a bill next week that would hand billions in subsidies to boost chip manufacturing, a financial disclosure shows.

Paul Pelosi purchased 20,000 shares of Nvidia, one of the world’s largest semiconductor companies, on June 17, according to the speaker’s disclosure report released Thursday. Now, senators will convene as early as Tuesday to vote on a bipartisan competition bill, which allocates $52 billion to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing and gives tax credits for production, Rooters reported Thursday.

"It certainly raises the specter that Paul Pelosi could have access to some insider legislative information," Craig Holman, a government affairs lobbyist for the left-wing think tank Public Citizen, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. "This is the reason why there is a stock trading app that exclusively monitors Paul’s trading activity and then its followers do likewise."

Nvidia is a multinational corporation that designs and manufactures graphics processors and other technology, and is heavily reliant on semiconductors. The House passed a bill in February that included $52 billion in domestic subsidies for the semiconductor industry, and chip companies, including Nvidia, demanded Congress in June move forward on finalizing semiconductor subsidies for domestic manufacturing.

"The conference is stuck. And so it seems to me there are a couple of ways out of this, potentially," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell Tuesday, noting that the bill would have a better likelihood of passing without the $52 billion funding for semiconductor manufacturing.

#2 And you wonder why Nancy and the UniParty are never going to give up insider trading. /sarc

#3 3 months ago Nvidia was worth almost $300 a share. Then it crashed hard to the $150's. What's going on here with Nancy proping them up with the US Treasury's noney?

#4 I think this one will put the lie to the myth that all insider trades make money. The price of nVidia's (and competitor AMD's) product is crashing and both are giving forward guidance of reduced production in the quarters ahead.

I predict they lose money or tread water if they are lucky on this one.

#5 We need some domestic chip and electronics manufacturing capacity in the US. I just hope that Congress puts clearly defined rules on just how the money gets used. But I'm not gonna hold my breath.

#6 The big chip making companies are pretty much straight up. They know thin margins. They know risk in putting new processes on the factory floor.

They aren't GM or US Steel. And thankfully, not Studebaker or Bethlehem either.
