Pelosi has repeatedly insisted that members of Congress should be allowed to trade individual stocks. It's something that she has benefited from in the past, most notably through her purchase of Tesla Inc call options at the beginning of the year.
It looks like the House Speaker is anticipating a continued bull run for stocks in 2022, specifically in the technology space.
