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?
