After running the Pelosi Stock Tracker for 4 years, the question I get most is
"how does $500 million trading alongside Pelosi actually work?"
So here's the answer on how it all works
In 2022 we rebuilt Pelosi's portfolio from her public filings and put it on Autopilot which at the time was a novel idea bc didn't even know politicians could legally trade to begin with
Autopilot itself was our pivot from an earlier app, Iris & is the first platform where you connect your own brokerage and trade alongside another portfolio automatically
Some call it 'copy trading', but it's not. It's a completely new approach to how you decide what individual stocks to buy.
Because "why pick your own stocks, when you could have the Speaker of the House do it for you?" (I love coming up with these slogans lol)
But the way it works is simple
1. Pick an investor (Pelosi, in this case)
2. Connect your brokerage (like a Schwab, Robinhood, Public)
3. Set an allocation
From there, every time she files a new buy, your account buys too
So for example, if you've got a $50k in a Public account & allocate $10k to Pelosi ... any buy Pelosi makes, your $10K will make that same buy automatically
Today, 125,000+ people have connected accounts and allocated over $530 million to mirror her trades, w
Which already is insane because that's more capital than many professional investment funds manage (the irony)
