AW1 Rod has been hammering my inbox all day with stock market foul play emails, now this. It is a breathtakingly blatant money grab that would put you or me in jail, unless of course we were Congress Critters. Like Nan.<\/p>\n

Chris Katje<\/strong><\/p>\n The ability of members of U.S. Congress to buy and sell stocks has been controversial over the years. One of its most prominent members made some purchases in December that could benefit from the new Biden administration.<\/p>\n What Happened: It was revealed over the weekend that Speaker of the House and California Rep. Nancy Pelosi purchased 25 call options of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA). The purchases could have been done by Pelosi or her husband Paul, who runs a venture capital firm.<\/p>\n The options were bought at a stake price of $500 and expiration of March 18, 2022. Pelosi paid between $500,000 and $1,000,000 for the options, according to the disclosure.<\/p>\n Pelosi also disclosed that she bought 20,000 shares of AllianceBernstein Holdings (NYSE: AB), 100 calls of Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL) and 100 calls of Walt Disney Co (NYSE: DIS).<\/p>\n Tesla shares have risen from $640.34 at the time the calls were purchased to over $890 today. The call options were valued at $1.12 million as of Monday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n It just gets better, here: Yahoo News<\/a>
