Nancy Pelosi's Janauary Trade of Google Call Options Wins Again
Nancy Pelosi filed a purchase of up to $500K of $Alphabet(GOOG)$ call options at the start of this year. At first, it looked like a rare miss.

$GOOGL has now risen 20% since the trade.
On January 14, 2025, former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reported in her STOCK Act disclosure document:
• Purchased 50 Alphabet Inc. call options (strike price $150, expiration date January 16, 2026), each with a value of $250,000–$500,000, for a total notional value of approximately $5 million.
• During the same period, she also purchased options on Amazon and Nvidia using the same structure, while reducing her holdings in Apple and Nvidia.
Market Analysis
Betting Target: Google's current share price is approximately $200, the options are already in-the-money, and the leverage ratio is approximately 3–4x.
Time Window: The options have 11 months remaining. If the share price remains at or above $200, the intrinsic value at expiration could reach $2.5–5 million.
Regulatory background: The final remedy plan for Alphabet's antitrust lawsuit has been finalized (no split), and Pelosi's decision to increase her options holdings after the "bad news" was exhausted was seen by the market as a bullish signal.
