folks many members of Congress have been making aggressive trades to reposition themselves to take advantage of the current market selloff I've plowed through endless Congressional disclosures interviews and tweets so you don't have to and in today's video we're going to break down the top five stocks that Congress is violently buying there's a big big repositioning going on in light of tariffs recession fears and sense these are all potentially made with Insider Knowledge from closo congressional meetings well it's very important to pay attention but as always if you're the one taking the ultimate risk you got

Tim Moore a republican from North Carolina has been absolutely plowing into this ETF you look at the disclosures here we are talking four different filings of four different buy orders two in the 50k to 100K region and two in the 15K to 50K region we're talking at least somewhere around 200k in buys and we were just given the notification of these on March 10th so why might Congressman Moore be loading up on TNA right now well consider what TNA actually is it's a leveraged ETF that bets aggressively on the upward movement of small cap stocks
when markets rebound from Corrections historically small caps lead the charge additionally small caps have been battered far harder than their large cap counterparts during recent volatility this puts them in a prime position for explosive recoveries as sentiment turns positive and of course it doesn't hurt that TNA provides triple average which magnifies gains if he's right in other words Congressman Moore isn't just confident that small caps will rally he seems to be betting big time that they'll rip upward and multiply his returns what's the bottom line here Charlie well Congressman Moore's significant stake in TNA suggests
he's betting confidently on a strong Market pivot likely fueled by upcoming policy changes and or a favorable economic backdrop for small cap growth after this big Panic we've seen look I mean there are several big catalysts that could drive TNA significantly higher number one Federal Reserve rate Cuts historically small caps outperform strongly when rates begin falling and if you look out at predictions for the next couple of meetings well while expectations are starting to pick up for at least one or two cuts secondly after this tariff scare blows away it's it's possible that you start
seeing that economic Euphoria come back at which case the small caps are going to see some of the most outsized runs and with TNA 3x leverage even modest Market moves could deliver outsize returns quickly so anyways keep an eye on TNA clearly Congressman Moore is bullish and it may pay off Big Time Forum number four nof for the National Bank of Canada this is their stock and Democratic representative R Conor from California has been plowing money into it he followed a report with the government disclosing 250k to 500k worth of money money newly invested in
one transaction on the fifth and if you look at the overall filings compiled by Capital trades he had three different buy orders total within a very short time frame the 250k to 500k the 50k to 100K and 100K to 250k now if you follow Ran's trades he tends to invest 1 to 15K at a time not upwards of half a million dollars which he's doing here so this is substantial he all of a sudden decided he loves loves loves Canadian Bank stocks so what's going on why would the representative all of a sudden be buying
so much National Bank of Canada stock when we are in the middle of a massive trade war with our partner up north we've covered Ron his trades many times in the past and not only is he one of the most sophisticated Tech investors but he also represents Silicon Valley so he's totally tied into that scene but the National Bank of Canada isn't some trendy Tech startup or AI play you'd expect Conor to chase it's in fact Canada's sixth largest bank specializing in personal banking wealth management and financial markets it's steady conservative and deeply rooted in
the Canadian economy so why buy this now why buy it now of all times that you could buy it well Conor seems to be betting heavily that the National Bank of Canada has something uniquely protective or opportunistic about it digging deeper you'll find the National Bank of Canada is a significant player in Quebec one of Canada's economic powerhouses and they've recently ramped up investment in digital banking infrastructure this digital push might be part of Conor's rationale anticipating growth in digital banking potentially backed by conversation he's having with Heavy Hitters in Silicon Valley's largely tariff exempt
information and digital technology sector as tariffs drive a gap between the US and Canada and cause the domestic Industries in both to ramp up their own production capacity well it's very possible that Venture capitalists in Silicon Valley are using their connections with the Bank of Canada as a way to profit off the volatility in both countries Ron's unusually large bet could signal he sees substantial upside or no something politically or economically About Us Canada relations that the rest of us investors don't know political trades as you know often precede policy changes and so while we
may not have the full picture of what's going on well cona perhaps does it's also possible that he's betting a bigger more entrenched ter War might end up making it harder for Canadian firms to access American Capital and thus he's trying to diversify into Canadian Banks to be able to benefit from the potential boost they'd have in that situation number three APD Air Products and chemicals this one is getting lots of buy orders from multiple members of Congress Congressman Jefferson shrie a republican from Indiana just disclosed buying 15K to 50K R con again disclosed buying
50k to 100K John James and Scott Franklin bought last year as well both house members now why would they be buying this and why do you have two buying and disclosing at the same exact date after basically no other Congress folk reported buying it since last year while of a sudden you get two buy orders of at the same time followed at the same time well let's back up a second what exactly is APD well APD is a global leader in industrial gases supplying essential products like oxygen nitrogen and hydrogen to various sectors including energy
Healthcare and Technology notably APD has been at the Forefront of hydrogen production which is increasingly recognized as a key component in clean energy initiatives but why exactly might APD specifically Thrive under a trump Administration given Trump's historically skeptical stance on climate initiative first off air products and chemicals isn't just any green Energy stock it's a global Powerhouse in the industrial gas space we're talking hydrogen nitrogen and oxygen Essentials powering everything from heavy industry and Manufacturing to technology and Aerospace APD has deep ties to critical us manufacturing sectors including steel semiconductor production Healthcare Aerospace and even
National Defense under Trump's Administration which heavily prioritizes American manufacturing restoring Industries and National infrastructure APD is unique position to win big with Trump's aggressive push to rebuild America's manufacturing strength will companies like APD stand to see explosive growth especially with his more protectionist policies and that might be why you're seeing some Republicans snap this up right industrial gases are fundamental to revitalize in American manufacturing and APD is a key player supplying the exact raw materials necessary for that Resurgence additionally Trump's Administration is strongly pro- energy Independence which means increased domestic oil and natural gas production
APD gas separation technology and industrial gas products are crucial components in oil refining and natural gas processing if the US pushes forward with expanding domestic fossil fuel production something Trump has consistently prioritized well APD would be a direct beneficiary seeing increased demand across multiple product lines another crucial factor is apd's positioning in the semiconductor industry Trump has previously prioritized domestic semiconductor production as a national security and economic imperative and APD supplies essential gas is critical in chip manufacturing processes with Trump likely to ramp up incentives for domestic chip production and reshoring from countries like China
well APD would be perfectly placed to capture increased demand from new chip plants springing up across America moreover APD isn't just a green play despite its hydrogen Focus hydrogen production isn't exclusively environmental it's also industrial used heavily in refining petroleum and in various chemical processes Trump's America First economic stance favors domestic industrial growth reduced Reliance on foreign energy and chemical sources and lower regulatory hurdles for heavy industry this means APD could benefit significantly from loosened regulation streamlined permitting and reduced environmental hurdles that allow rapid expansion and higher profit margins the recent bipartisan stock buyers from
Congress could indicate their anticipating upcoming legislation or executive action from Trump's Administration focusing heavily on infrastructure or again manufacturing Congressional insiders often have early insights into Congressional spending priorities potential infrastructure bills or incentives aimed at revitalizing domestic industry another major Catalyst under Trump would be increased military spending APD provides essential industrial gases for the Aerospace and defense Industries including rocket propulsion defense manufacturing and advanced military equipment production given Trump strong track record and bolstering Military budgets APD could naturally benefit from expanded defense contracts and growth and related Industries and that might be why you're seeing
some Congressional snapping up of this number two LPL for LPL Financial Holdings Senator Mark Wayne Mullen just disclosed a 50 to 100K buy order on this and that's quite a lot for him actually signaling some significant conviction behind this trade so what's the deal with LPL Financial and why might Mullen be so bullish well first you got to go through a quick rundown on what this even is so lpla is the largest independent broker dealer in the US serving as the go-to platform for thousands of independent financial advisers they handle investment advisory brokerage compliance technology
and Operational Support letting advisers focus on their clients without worrying about administrative headaches now why might Senator Mullen be bullish while Congressional insiders like Mullen often have early insights into regulatory shifts or legislative actions that significantly impact Financial Services given that lpl's profitability can swing heavily based on regulatory Frameworks well while it's possible that Mullen expects upcoming legislation to benefit independent advisory firms additionally lpla has been consistently expanding its market share recently attracting a wave of financial advisers away from larger Wall Street firms Senator Mullen could be betting on continued growth driven by industry Trends
toward Independence and away from traditional commission heavy brokerages there's also the possibility that Mullen anticipates strategic moves or mergers involving lpla or perhaps he's expecting strong quarterly earnings based on what he's hearing behind the scenes and what he's seing in terms of TR ends on advisor recruiting numbers or Rising interest rates or interest rates which positively impact lpl's profitability looking ahead several potential Catalyst could drive lpla higher number one continued advisor growth number two potential m&a activity number three earning strength and of course of course of course number four regulatory Tailwinds possible upcoming legislation or
regulatory adjustments favorable to Independent advisory firms could really really drive this stock up and that's where Senator Mullen might just come in Senator mullen's purchase might signal he sees significant upside in LPL Financial possibly fueled by Insider expectations of industry-friendly policy shifts upcoming company announcements or continued robust growth in advisor recruiting number one hwm how met Aerospace Inc Senator Ashley Moody from Florida just disclosed buying 50k to 100K of this stock and it's also owned by Congressman Byron Donalds also from Florida and Michael McCulla from Texas who owns multiple six figures worth of this stock
now why might these politicians be loading the boat with hwm stock well first let's break down exactly what they do so they're a heavy weight in Aerospace and defense manufacturing specializing in high performance components like jet engine parts Fasteners titanium Alloys and Advanced Materials critical to Aerospace defense and even space exploration markets given the unfortunately Rising geopolitical tensions globally think Russia China in the Middle East while there's an expectation of significantly higher defense spending coming down the pipeline politicians are us quick to position themselves in defense stocks When government contracts or increased budgets are about
to flow and that's exactly what's likely Happening Here the fact that both Senator Moody and Congressman Donald and Michael McCall all politically influential and knowledgeable of upcoming legislative priorities are investing significant sums suggests a strong expectation of policy Tailwinds favorable regulatory moves or new government defense contracts heading toward hwm so what's the bottom line here Charlie charito who's just looking for a rally rally to well this is a classic follow the money scenario we love following the money here at zip Trader anyways folks that caps off today's video and as a reminder are you tired
