Pelosi Locks in Profits; Lawmaker Exits UNH Early! Are Congressional Trades Good Signals?
@Tiger_SG:
A new congressional disclosure has once again reignited debate around tracking lawmakers’ trades. Nancy Pelosi reported roughly $69 million in recent transactions, highlighted by the sale of about $50 million worth of $Apple(AAPL)$, along with reductions in $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ and $Walt Disney(DIS)$ At the same time, Pelosi added new LEAP call options on $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ , $Amazon.com(AMZN)$, $Apple(AAPL)$, and $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ , using far less capital to retain upside exposure. The message is subtle but important: this is less about turning bearish on tech and more about locking in gains while maintaining long-term optionality. In contrast, Congressman Kevin Hern disclosed a complete exit from his roughly $500,000 position in $UnitedHealth(UNH)$, marked as “sell to close.” Notably, Hern sits on the House health subcommittee. Shortly after, healthcare stocks sold off sharply, with UNH plunging nearly 20% as investors reacted to weaker guidance and looming Medicare reimbursement pressure. Together, these trades illustrate two very different approaches. Pelosi’s strategy emphasizes capital efficiency and risk management, while Hern’s move signals a full de-risking ahead of policy-driven uncertainty. For individual investors, the key question remains whether these trades are actionable signals—or simply reflections of access and tools most retail traders don’t have. How do you interpret Pelosi’s recent trade? Is there any takeaway for retail investors? Should retail investors “follow” congressional trades? After UNH’s sharp sell-off, where is a good dip-buy level?
