Kolumne Inside America: Der letzte Trade der Nancy Pelosi
Die Demokratin aus San Francisco gilt in den USA als Polit-Legende. In den vergangenen Jahren stand immer wieder auch eines ihrer anderen Talente im Fokus: ihr Glück als Aktieninvestorin.
At a recent city council party in San Francisco, Democratic Representative Nancy Pelosi was notably absent. The politician had been campaigning hard for Connie Chan to succeed her, but the absence of Pelosi's key supporter was conspicuous. Pelosi is revered in the United States as a political legend, and her influence and charisma have been envied by many men.
She has represented San Francisco in the House of Representatives since 1987, and became the first woman to serve as its speaker in 2007. Pelosi was instrumental in pushing through Obama's healthcare reform, Biden's CHIPs law, and massive coronavirus packages. When Donald Trump concluded his State of the Union address in 2020, Pelosi ripped up his script behind his back.
Her successor as the party leader, Hakeem Jeffries, calls her "the greatest speaker of all time." A second legend has grown around Pelosi on Wall Street. Her husband, Paul, manages a Pelosi Depot that has spectacularly outperformed the market, with data services calculating an 816 percent return over ten years, compared to the S&P 500's 229 percent.
On the social media platform X, the "Pelosi Tracker" account cheers every order, and over three million investors use the Autopilot app to mirror Pelosi's portfolio, a stock exchange-traded fund bears the NANC abbreviation. However, no evidence of insider trading has ever been presented, and Pelosi always denied such allegations.
