On July 3rd, 2023, Unusual Whales reported significant changes to Nancy Pelosi’s
First, Nancy sold $500,000 to $1,000,000 of her Tesla, $TSLA position. This occurred in two separate transactions of $250,000 to $500,000 each. Pelosi also cut some of her Visa $V position, to the tune of $500,000 to $1,000,000 worth. She also added call contracts on Broadcom Inc., $AVGO, which we’ll cover below.
We can see in the transactions above that Nancy added 10,000 shares of Nvidia, $NVDA, to her portfolio as well. Unusual Whales has been reporting on Nancy’s $NVDA options trades ever since the position was opened. The positions in $NVDA were first noted on November 22, 2023, when Pelosi opened positions in the $12 call expiring on December 20th, 2024.
The $12C (formerly the $120C, prior to the $NVDA stock split) filled for an average price of $3.70 per contract. Clearly, this trade has paid off as $NVDA continued to set new all time highs throughout the first half of 2024. As of the time of writing, Pelosi’s options position is deeply in profit. The $12C 12/20/2024 is currently trading at $114.95; an astounding 3,005% gain from her point of entry.
It’s worth noting, here, that Nancy Pelosi entered this position shortly before major bills and news surrounding chipmakers in the United States. Bills she personally had sway over.

As mentioned, Nancy Pelosi reported a position in the Broadcom $AVGO $800 call contract expiring on 6/20/2025. We can see on Unusual Whales where this position was opened.
This image also serves as an example of fill skew. The bid/ask spread of the contract was rather wide, so the fill price fell within that wide gap, lower than the mid-price. This resulted in what appears to be a BID side trade. We know now, post filing, that these were in fact bought to open.
The position opened on June 24, 2024. In just a week, Nancy’s position is already in profit. From her entry on 20 contracts at $836.93, her position is up $111.17 per contract to $948.10; a 13% gain in just a week. Her cost of entry of $16,738.60 is now worth $18,962.
It’s common knowledge at this point that politicians systemically tend to report their trades late. With the Unusual Whales Portfolio feature, you can make a custom alert to see when she exits.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR HER TO FILE!!!
First, you can Follow her portfolio, which will send you an alert any time a change to the portfolio is made.
You can also create a custom alert for the specific contract, $800C 6/20/2025 to send you a notification when action occurs on the contract. Unusual Whales has a How To Setup Custom Alerts video to walk you through how to do this!
