Nvidia isn’t benefiting form the chips act, so this makes no sense.

I think it is silly to say they don't benefit from it just because they aren't directly getting handouts. Many suppliers would benefit even if they were not handed the money directly.

This needs a big [citiation needed]! Why would you throw such serious accusations around without a source?

Is this not common knowledge?

Pelosi is a fantastic fund manager. If she weren't a politician she would crush almost every fund manager out there.

You really have to be a die-hard Democrat to even pretend that it's a coincidence.

The comment above is plainly false though.

Pelosi's sale of Nvidia was timed incredibly poorly, if the goal was to avoid short-term price movement around the CHIPS Act news. $NVDA is up about 8% in the two days since the sale.

Up 8% now, down 15-20+% in the near future. Hm... would you rather sale now if you have a heads up that the CHIPS act is going to stall and affect the price, which is correlated to others in the industry, or wait until is down more?

Here is the story:

When you see the CHIPS socialism for the rich act stall, and ultimately NVIDIA will be affected and NVDA goes down below that.. what is a couple days ultimately, if you get out ahead of a much larger drop?

I'm operating on the assumption that the market has already priced the possibility of the CHIPS Act failing into the current price of $NVDA.

It's possible that new information will come out that will lead to the price of $NVDA dropping, but I think that your initial comment was pretty misleading as the new announcement has not lead to Pelosi's sale being profitable.
