Hello all, Chris here. Happy Thursday. Hope everyone is enjoying the freshness of spring.
For those that don’t know, I am one of the co founders of Autopilot and also run the popular Politician trade trackers on Twitter, IG, & Tiktok.
To be clear, I personally think politics preys on people’s emotions and is a net negative for our country. Trust in our institutions is important, and I believe that Politicians trading actively undermines that trust and is hurtful to our country in the long run.
So my goal with running these trackers and building a way to copy trade them is simple: to get them banned from trading individual stocks. This is why I do it: to bring more awareness to the issue. And to be fair, I also do it to make some $$, which we did by copying two of the most famous Political Traders: Pelosi & Crenshaw.
1. Dan Crenshaw (R) Texas - Meta
Back on 10/25/22, we alerted the community that Dan Crenshaw went in on big tech and bought shares of GOOGL 0.00%↑ , AAPL 0.00%↑ , AMZN 0.00%↑ , and more.
Well one of those other stocks was the controversial META 0.00%↑ which just reported a killer earnings quarter and the stock is up 15% today.
Here is the official trade breakdown:
Filed: 10/25/22
Traded: 10/25/22
Price then: $130
Price today: $240
Gain: 75%
What’s makes this trade even more interesting though is shortly after he bought $META, Crenshaw publicly shared his concerns about Meta competitor, Tiktok, and called for an outright ban of the company in the USA. Obviously this rhetoric has gained steam and if a ban does occur, META stock would be the clear winner.
Nancy Pelosi (D) CA - Microsoft
Back on 4/19/21, we alerted the community that Nancy Pelosi just placed one of her largest bullish trades ever: a $10,000,000 purchase of Microsoft stock. Well looks like she’s back to her winning ways as MSFT 0.00%↑ reported earnings yesterday and the stock was up 8% due to their investment in OpenAI & their cloud business.
Here is the official trade breakdown:
Filed: 4/19/21
Traded: 3/19/21
Price then: $230
Price today: $303
Gain: 33%
Hypothetically, if you were to do the math on potential profits here, Pelosi would have made a cool $3.3M on this trade over the last three years. Uncanny. Unreal. Thats not a small amount of money.
This is why we track all this though: to see if theres opportunities to profit when copying these politicians. For our premium subscribers, we will be writing up a formal stock report analyzing these two companies post earnings. If you’d like to check it out, feel free to sign up for a free 7 day trial 🫡
Thanks again, have a great day, and appreciate the continued support.

1. Do you guys have a link to the posts back in X of Creshaws deals? I don't see it going trough the post archieve
2. Is there a way to see the insider's portfolios without the iphone app?
To an extent, I don't care what Pelosi made. I want to know what I would have made using your app.
