Fox News Charles Payne Says Pelosi Stock Trade Timing ‘Would Make a Capitalist Blush’

Fox News host Charles Payne said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s stock trade timing was “impeccable” and suggested that “maybe Nancy Pelosi knows something we do not know.” 

“Representative Pelosi just bought a total of 50 out of the money calls on Apple, 150 out of the money calls on Microsoft,” Payne said on the June 6 edition of his show, Making Money. “Now, the two transactions totaled anywhere between one and a little bit over two million dollars. One would say it’s the kind of bet that one would make, uh, if they were a greedy capitalist, right? You would actually make a capitalist blush, and then a professional poker player blush too. The timing is always so perfect when it comes down to Nancy Pelosi trades.” 

Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of House (D-CA), disclosed in a new filing millions of dollars worth of calls to Apple and Microsoft. The filing detailed her and her husband Paul Pelosi’s purchases during the month of May. Celebrity Net Worth reports that Paul Pelosi, a financier and millionaire with $120million in net worth, is Paul Pelosi. 

Payne continued: “Between her and her husband’s gas guzzling Porsche and of course that house with a carbon footprint of a football stadium right at kick off time, maybe she needs the extra bucks. Maybe that’s why she’s taking the extra risk. Unfortunately, many Americans are not able to follow her lead. Not many Americans have the same luxury that she has.” 

Nancy Pelosi made $12.75million in stock options trades in 2021. This makes her the second-largest trader in Congress according to Unusual Whales. 

Payne stated that people are unhappy about the fact that some members of Congress (including Pelosi) seem to have an innate knack for placing huge bets with stocks that contain special information. “People are upset about it. They do not like the idea of these folks in Washington, D.C. being able to make gargantuan bets like this, particularly when they have information the rest of us don’t have.” 

Payne displayed a graph on Microsoft and Apple’s share prices over the past few months and pointed to May, when Pelosi made her money calls. The stock prices of both companies shot up following the Speaker’s purchase, almost as if “Pelosi knows something we do not know or maybe runaway inflation has her nervous as well,” Payne said. 

Speaker Pelosi’s long-standing history of winning and betting against the house is proof that he has won. Financial data aggregator Unusual Whales exposed Speaker Pelosi for beating SPY — a successful, exchange-traded fund — by a tremendous margin. 70 percent of Pelosi’s trades beat SPY as of late September 2021, Unusual Whales revealed. 

Pelosi once told an audience in London that “In America, capitalism is our system, it is our economic system, but it has not served our economy as well as it should,” according to Business Insider.
