Just buy QQQ. She doesn't have a magic strategy. In fact, she probably underperforms given how long she is in tech and how leveraged her trades are (people forget she's married to a venture capitalist).

> how leveraged her trades are

What does this phrase mean?

The Pelosis use a call option strategy to do leveraged buys for their positions.

That is wild! I cannot believe that is allowed. Retail investors using options is always a "gambling strategy"... or in her case probably _near_ insider information.

... why wouldn't that be allowed? They're basically just doing an options-structured version of buying on margin, which you yourself can do; using options limits their downside risk. What "insider" information are you even talking about?

People keep talking about how wildly Pelosi beats the market. You could beat Pelosi! Just go all-in on NVDA. Max out your margin limit to do it. So long as tech stays on a bull run, you're a genius.

Of course, you'll eventually lose your shirt. This is the problem with "the Pelosi tracker" stuff. Your risk tolerance is not that of the Pelosis: Paul Pelosi has spent decades in venture capital and they've allocated a small portion of their portfolio to very long bets on tech. If tech craters, they're fine. You aren't.

That's the "secret" to their success.
