Congresswoman's Stock Picks: A Look at Marjorie Taylor Greene's Recent Investments
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has been active in the stock market, making notable purchases in several prominent companies and a Bitcoin ETF.
Recent Purchases
Greene's recent investments include:
- Adobe
- Amazon
- Exelon
- Novo Nordisk
- Tesla
- United Parcel Service
- iShares Bitcoin Trust
These purchases were made in October, with some stocks, like Amazon and the Bitcoin ETF, bought on multiple occasions.
Timing of Investments
Several of these companies are set to release their quarterly earnings soon:
- Tesla
- UPS
- Amazon
- Exelon
This timing has raised questions about Greene's investment strategy.
Increased Trading Activity
Greene has been more active in the stock market over the past year, with trades occurring almost every month. Before 2024, she rarely disclosed stock purchases, leading to speculation about the influence of her congressional role on her investments.
Potential Conflicts of Interest
Concerns have been raised about the timing of some of Greene's trades, particularly her purchase of Palantir while serving on the Committee on Homeland Security. Palantir has several government contracts, which has sparked debates about potential conflicts of interest.
Greene's Defense
Greene claims that her trades are managed by a portfolio manager who relies solely on public information. However, skepticism remains.
Ongoing Debate
The discussion about whether Congress members should be allowed to trade stocks continues, with arguments on both sides regarding financial freedom and potential conflicts of interest.
