Home 2023 Nancy Pelosi Buys Microsoft and Apple Stocks

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made two major stock purchases on June 15, 2023, buying $250,000 to $500,000 worth of Apple Inc. (AAPL) and $500,000 to $1,000,000 worth of Microsoft Corporation (MSFT). The trades were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 22, 2023.

The purchases were made through Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, who is a venture capitalist. Paul Pelosi has been a frequent trader of stocks, and his trades have often been the subject of scrutiny.

In the case of the Apple and Microsoft purchases, it is unclear why Pelosi decided to buy these stocks. Apple is the world’s largest technology company, and Microsoft is the world’s largest software company. Both stocks have a long history of growth, and they are expected to continue to grow in the future.

Pelosi is a powerful figure in Congress, and she has access to information that could affect the stock market. Pelosi is responsible for overseeing legislation that could affect the tech industry. Her husband’s investments in Apple and Microsoft could create a conflict of interest if she were to take any actions that could benefit these companies.
