Summary
People track Pelosi’s disclosures for one reason: the strategy is consistent. In the latest filing, the trades show a “rinse and repeat” approach: buy deep in-the-money LEAPS on mega-cap winners and pair it with select profit-taking.
What the filing shows:
• New LEAPS purchases: GOOGL $150 calls expiring 1/15/27 (20 contracts), AMZN $120 calls expiring 1/15/27 (20 contracts), NVDA $100 calls expiring 1/15/27 (20 contracts)
• Profit-taking sales: AAPL (45,000 shares), AMZN (20,000 shares), NVDA (20,000 shares), plus DIS (10,000) and PYPL (5,000)
• A new stock buy: AllianceBernstein (25,000 shares)
In this clip we break down what “deep in the money” really means, why LEAPS reduce time pressure compared to short-dated options, and how this creates upside exposure while still staying focused on quality companies.
