Fact check: Nancy Pelosi unveiled a $1 million position in Uber's calls.
Verdict: mixed — Trust Score 65/100
The TikTok post accurately states that Nancy Pelosi recently purchased call options for Intel and Uber stocks, a fact cross-checked by 15 sources. However, the claim that Uber stock surged 6% solely due to her disclosure is misleading, as other market factors also contributed to the rise. The assertion that every trade she has made in the past two years has been profitable is an exaggeration and lacks verifiable evidence.

While Nancy Pelosi's trading activity has shown significant outperformance compared to the S&P 500 and a high win rate (85.5% as of June 2026), the claim that *every* trade has been profitable in the past two years is an exaggeration.
