A 23-year-old Harvard dropout built a platform that lets Americans copy Nancy Pelosi’s trades for just $10 a month.
When Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declared that politicians’ stock returns would make “every hedge fund jealous,” he highlighted one of Washington’s worst-kept secrets: lawmakers such as Nancy Pelosi consistently beat the market using information ordinary Americans could never have access to.
Now, as Congress debates banning itself from stock trading, a new company called dub Advisors is pulling back the curtain on political stock portfolios. dub Advisors allows everyday investors to track, and copy, how politicians trade via the dub copy-trading platform, founded by 23-year-old Harvard dropout Steven Wang. The dub platform functions as marketplace for copying investment strategies built by others, including those built by dub Advisors, dub’s affiliated Registered Investment Advisor. dub Advisors is one of numerous creators that operate investment strategies on the platform, specializing in translating complex trades of public figures (such as Pelosi’s Nvidia options) into strategies that can be easily copied by the average American.
The dub platform arrives amid explosive revelations about congressional trading. Senator Josh Hawley’s “PELOSI Act,” named after former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, seeks to ban lawmakers from trading individual stocks entirely. The bill has gained momentum after President Trump told Time magazine he would “absolutely” sign such legislation, adding, “I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information.”
These aren’t baseless accusations. Politicians are required to disclose their trades under the STOCK Act, and analysis of these filings reveals patterns that raise eyebrows. Members of Congress routinely make well-timed trades before major legislative announcements, regulatory changes, or economic briefings that move markets.
dub Advisors uses politician’s public financial disclosures to create portfolios that mirror politicians’ trades. The Head of Investments at dub Advisors uses an algorithm to translate complex trades (such as Pelosi’s Nvidia options) to strategies that can be copied easily by the average American. With over 17,000 copiers, dub Advisors’ Nancy Pelosi model portfolio ($PELOSI) has resonated with Americans tired of watching Washington insiders profit while regular investors struggle.
What’s particularly galling is the hypocrisy: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries recently became the first party leader to endorse a congressional trading ban, while his predecessor, Nancy Pelosi, initially opposed such reforms. Pelosi eventually backed the changes but never brought a vote to the House floor during her speakership.
The bipartisan push for reform reflects growing public anger. Representative Seth Magaziner, who’s leading House efforts for a trading ban, points to Trump’s tariff announcements as a “catalyst,” noting they were “a very stark example of what could be possible when it comes to insider trading in Washington.”
Meanwhile, the congressional trading scandal has spread beyond individual lawmakers. The Republican Study Committee’s budget proposals and various federal policies directly impact markets, yet those crafting these policies can still trade on that knowledge. It’s a system that virtually guarantees conflicts of interest.
dub Advisors doesn’t wait for reform. The company tracks politicians from both parties, creating a strategic model of who’s making what trades and when. Users can copy these portfolios for just $29.99 every 3 months, with a minimum investment of only $100—democratizing access to the trading strategies derived from Congressional trading.
dub Advisors carefully notes that politicians’ trades often lag due to disclosure requirements, sometimes by 30-45 days. But even with this delay, politician portfolios such as dub Advisors’ model portfolio for Nancy Pelosi, $PELOSI, are able quickly catch on to politician trading patterns. The $PELOSI portfolio alone has amassed $24 million of copying capital following the strategy, not to mention dub Advisors’ roster of other politician model portfolio offerings.
As inflation erodes savings and traditional retirement security crumbles—the Senior Citizens League reports Social Security benefits lost 20% of purchasing power from 2010 to 2024—Americans need every advantage available.
“A decade from now, instead of picking stocks, we’ll be picking people to invest in,” predicts Wang. Until Congress finally bans its own trading, companies like dub ensure that the insider information that made politicians successful at trading is made available to all Americans.
The establishment may not like this transparency, but in a true free market, information demands to be free – and the 1.3 million Americans who have downloaded dub agree as they copy-trade their way towards their financial goals.
