I'm a lot more suspicious of insider trading if a stock is sold right before the price crashes or bought right before the price spikes. In this case neither thing happened. Insider trading is something pretty darned specific and no evidence of that is shown
A lot of well-to-do folks hold NVIDIA stock. All of the cool analysts recommend buying it. And it has done very well these past half-dozen years for a lot of reasons, but mainly how useful their GPU chips are for running and training neural networks. Which is interesting because until very recently they were never designed for that task. So in a lot of ways their success (NVIDIA's) was discovered and not planned.

U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-California, has achieved significant financial gains from her recent investment in Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA), a prominent company in artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductors. On Nov. 22, Pelosi acquired 50 call options for Nvidia with a strike price of $120, expiring on Dec. 20, 2024. The transaction value ranged between $1 million and $5 million.
As of early 2024, Pelosi has reportedly made nearly $500,000 from this investment, surpassing her annual government salary of approximately $223,500. This gain is attributed to Nvidia’s stock performance, which has seen an increase of over 21% in value since Pelosi’s acquisition, according to Finbold.
Pelosi’s investment in Nvidia has drawn attention because of her track record of successful trades in Congress. Along with her husband, a venture capitalist, Pelosi has made substantial profits from trading call options in various blue-chip companies. However, her stock trades often face scrutiny, with some accusing her of using insider information to make lucrative trades.
Pelosi’s investment decisions and their timing have been a topic of debate. While some criticize her for potential insider trading, others commend her strategic investment choices. The rise in Nvidia’s stock value, partly because of the high demand for its chips in AI computing, has contributed significantly to Pelosi’s recent financial success from this investment.
Nvidia has impacted sectors like artificial intelligence, cloud computing, semiconductors and gaming. Founded in 1993, the company has evolved from a primary focus on high-end gaming graphics processing units (GPUs) to a broad presence in autonomous vehicles and data centers.
In fiscal 2023, the company’s financial performance was outstanding, with a third-quarter revenue of $18.1 billion and a net income of $9.2 billion. This success is largely because of its strategic focus on AI and accelerated computing, with key products like the H100 GPU and the Grace Hopper H200 AI Superchip. Nvidia’s collaboration with Microsoft Corp.’s Azure for cloud-based AI solutions and its significant data center revenue growth demonstrates its strong position in the tech industry.
Nvidia’s success and growth offer valuable insights and opportunities for startups. As Nvidia demonstrates, focusing on cutting-edge technologies and strategic collaborations can drive significant growth and market leadership. For startups, particularly those in tech industries, Nvidia’s approach highlights the importance of innovation, adaptability and strategic partnerships.
