Different Investing Styles

Pelosi's husband has a history of buying call options that are in the money and have expiration dates of a year from the purchase date. He later exercised the options into common stock.

Investments are often made in the technology space, favoring large-cap names in the sector.

Wood and Ark Funds invest in innovative and disruptive companies that cover sectors like fintech, cryptocurrency, AI, electric vehicles and more.

The main overlap between the two is AI names and bets on growth for some of the largest technology companies going forward.

Of the four stocks in common, three are members of the Magnificent 7.
