Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Speaking of major keys, Nancy Pelosi. So we went to
- 0:03Speaker 1: a video. The next place. The next place we're going
- 0:05Speaker 1: is Capitol Hill, and the greatest investors, you can argue,
- 0:11Speaker 1: are not all.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Argument in Washington.
- 0:16Speaker 1: When you see some of these politicians portfolios and what
- 0:18Speaker 1: they've been able to accumulate since they've been in office,
- 0:22Speaker 1: it's historic and she's probably the top when it comes
- 0:28Speaker 1: to her portfolio. It's become legendary for sure. Like people
- 0:33Speaker 1: people track her portfolio whenever they you know, because they
- 0:36Speaker 1: got announced different moves that they make. So she reports
- 0:40Speaker 1: sixty nine million of new stock trades. So yeah, they
- 0:45Speaker 1: released the information sixty nine million in stock and options
- 0:50Speaker 1: activity between late December twenty five and mid January twenty
- 0:56Speaker 1: six on one month and one month she did twenty
- 1:01Speaker 1: six million dollars in stock trades. Yeah, legend in the
- 1:08Speaker 1: legendary yea, yeah, yeah, so you want to talk about that?
- 1:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, so I got the options trades here
- 1:14Speaker 2: and for some of you this is going to be
- 1:16Speaker 2: a whole learning lesson, but we've covered this at the
- 1:19Speaker 2: Mastermind last year. Her trading strategy is very unique and
- 1:23Speaker 2: it's something that if you have capital, it makes a
- 1:26Speaker 2: lot of sense. What she does is and I'll tell
- 1:28Speaker 2: you the companies that she invested. So she bought twenty
- 1:31Speaker 2: Google calls at a one to fifty strike for January
- 1:34Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven. She bought twenty Amazon calls for one
- 1:37Speaker 2: hundred and fifty strike for January twenty twenty seven, and
- 1:41Speaker 2: she bought twenty in Video calls for one hundred dollars
- 1:44Speaker 2: strike for January twenty twenty seven. Right, So she's going
- 1:47Speaker 2: out these are leaps, right, this is out till next January.
- 1:51Speaker 2: And if you listen into those prices, you're saying to yourself.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Google is passed one fifty, it's way past one fifty, right,
- 1:57Speaker 2: it was at three thirty one last week. Amazon has
- 2:00Speaker 2: passed one fifty. Right, it was trading at two forty, right, like,
- 2:03Speaker 2: and Video is at one eight five. She's buying one
- 2:06Speaker 2: hundred dollars strike. Well, here's why. Right, in options trading,
- 2:11Speaker 2: there's something that you call out of the money, which
- 2:14Speaker 2: means that you go over the price that is currently
- 2:16Speaker 2: at uh and then you have in the money, which
- 2:19Speaker 2: is kind of like floating around with the equity is trading,
- 2:23Speaker 2: and then you have deep in the money. And what
- 2:26Speaker 2: she's done. Is she's done? Deep in the money calls
- 2:29Speaker 2: why a couple of reasons. Okay, the equity has far
- 2:33Speaker 2: surpassed the strike, which means that the intris value right
- 2:38Speaker 2: is not speculative. There's already value built into it, right,
- 2:40Speaker 2: and Video has already passed one hundred. Okay, that's the
- 2:43Speaker 2: first thing. The next thing is that the decay that
- 2:46Speaker 2: happens right. So in contracts, when we talk about x
- 2:48Speaker 2: orration dates, there's always decay right the data of like
- 2:52Speaker 2: the Greeks, when you study options trading, there's less sensitivity
- 2:56Speaker 2: to it because again, it is already passed a strike.
- 2:58Speaker 2: So let's say in Vidia's trading at one eighty five. Now,
- 3:01Speaker 2: if it pulls down to one seventy nine, if you're
- 3:04Speaker 2: near the money, that time decay. Right, you're going to
- 3:07Speaker 2: see a violetile move when you're deep in the money.
- 3:11Speaker 2: It's a move, but it's not as viletime. Here's the
- 3:14Speaker 2: other reason she doesn't. Okay, this is this is the
- 3:16Speaker 2: real reason. Let's say in Video moves from one eighty
- 3:20Speaker 2: five right to one eighty seven. That's a two dollars move, right,
- 3:25Speaker 2: two dollars move if you have the stock right, So
- 3:27Speaker 2: that's great. You got some shares. Each share grows by
- 3:29Speaker 2: two dollars and an options call. If in video runs
- 3:34Speaker 2: from one eighty five to twenty seven, you're talking about
- 3:37Speaker 2: maybe your three x on that percentage, right, But she's
- 3:40Speaker 2: deep in the money, so that percentage is a little
- 3:43Speaker 2: bit greater. So she's actually has protection on the way
- 3:47Speaker 2: up and safety a little bit on the way down,
- 3:49Speaker 2: so less decay, more upside intrinsic values already built in.
- 3:53Speaker 2: She's been doing this year over year, leap after leap.
- 3:59Speaker 2: She buys deep in the money calls. And the reason
- 4:02Speaker 2: is because she's already built the value. The wind's kind
- 4:04Speaker 2: of built in, and she's protecting herself on the way down.
- 4:07Speaker 2: It's a great strategy. It's more expensive to buy deep
- 4:10Speaker 2: in the money calls, but at this point she's just
- 4:12Speaker 2: renting and repeating, and I think for us we look
- 4:15Speaker 2: at it and say, hey, yes, it's expensive, but more importantly,
- 4:19Speaker 2: what are the companies Google? Yeah, the quality companies matter. Yeah,
- 4:24Speaker 2: the companies that she's choosen make a lot of sense.
- 4:26Speaker 2: And so it gives us again, if we're thinking about confirmation,
- 4:30Speaker 2: like those signs, those catass events, All right, what are
- 4:33Speaker 2: the people in Washington invest in Let's see right, Let's
- 4:36Speaker 2: go to Golobal trends and see what they're trading. And
- 4:38Speaker 2: if we start seeing those companies over and over, oh
- 4:41Speaker 2: they know something. We got to just follow the money.
- 4:44Speaker 3: And for those who are not invested in the option,
- 4:46Speaker 3: can I get prices away on the equity side.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Yep, let's do it.
- 4:52Speaker 3: Google entry would be two eighty five forty six. Is
- 4:56Speaker 3: why you would want to enter Amazon to twenty three seventeen,
- 5:03Speaker 3: and then Video one seventy three sixty five. So two
- 5:05Speaker 3: eighty five forty six for Google, to twenty three seventeen
- 5:09Speaker 3: for Amazon, and one seventy three sixty five for in Video.
- 5:16Speaker 1: Fact. But she also sold some stocks though.
- 5:20Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 5:20Speaker 1: She sold forty five thousand shares of Apple, She sold
- 5:25Speaker 1: twenty thousand shares of in Vidio and Amazon. She sold
- 5:30Speaker 1: ten thousand shares of Disney and five thousand shares of PayPal.
- 5:35Speaker 3: I'm not mad at some profit taking, Yoh, yeah, you
- 5:39Speaker 3: never lose by taking profit. Yeah, I'm not mad at
- 5:41Speaker 3: her taking some profit off the table.
- 5:43Speaker 1: She also purchased twenty five thousand shares of Alliance Bernstein.
- 5:47Speaker 2: Say the companies that she sold.
- 5:49Speaker 1: She sold Apple, Apple, and Vidia, Amazon, Disney, PayPal.
- 5:55Speaker 2: Okay, so Disney, well, Apple at the time that frame
- 6:00Speaker 2: in which she sold hit its all time high, and
- 6:02Speaker 2: Video hit its all time high, and Amazon hitting all
- 6:05Speaker 2: time high. PayPal Disney not so much. But those for sure,
- 6:09Speaker 2: that's great profit taking on those.
- 6:13Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay Nancy Pelosi.
- 6:17Speaker 2: And that's just her. Her husband has his own portfolio. Yeah,
- 6:20Speaker 2: her husband, he'd have won. What different game they playing
