According to a report by the USA "National Strategy" website on December 25, 2024, at least 37 members of the US Congress and their families traded defense stocks using the Pentagon's list of the top 100 contractors, which is compiled annually by the "Defense and Security Observer" blog. Analysis of data from the Vibrant quantitative investment data platform shows that these legislators traded Pentagon contractor stocks worth between 24 million to 0.113 billion USD this year. Eight of these legislators also serve on the Military Committee or the Foreign Affairs Committee, which are responsible for defense policy and foreign relations. Legislators responsible for the annual defense bill and who have insider knowledge of intelligence briefings are in a favorable position to predict future stock prices. According to data from the Vibrant quantitative investment data platform, Pelosi is the most profitable among all legislators in 2024, netting approximately 38.6 million USD from all stock trading activities.
