At the time, 140,000 everyday Americans had $510,000,000 invested alongside the Pelosi Stock Tracker on Autopilot. When that disclosure became public, those 140,000 investors mirrored those same trades, directly in their own brokerages. And I'd bet most of them probably had no idea Pelosi even bought new stocks. The result: - $43,700,000 of new trade volume sent to third-party brokerages - 200,000+ new trades placed via the rebalance - thousands of happy Autopilot investors making those trades without even knowing about it In a world where gambling is taking over everything, I think there needs to be a better alternative for Americans who want to introduce some risk into their net worth. And I'd much rather see that happen through owning individual stocks. The Pelosi Tracker is actually a perfect example of this. People may play it off as a meme or some YOLO way to invest, but when you actually look at her portfolio, it's pretty fundamental. The majority of her portfolio is Nvidia, Google, Apple, CrowdStrike, Intel, etc. It's not a bunch of small-cap, super risky YOLO bets. And through Autopilot, 140,000 people now have $500M+ invested this way. They're adding some individual stock exposure to their lives without having to spend their days researching stocks or deciding when to trade. It just so happens they're doing it by mirroring the stock trades of Nancy Pelosi. public_profile__posts 57 5 Comments Copy LinkedIn Facebook X Chris Josephs Chris Josephs 3w Report this post Chris Josephs shared this After running the Pelosi Stock Tracker for the past 4 years, a question I get all the time is “How does $500 million trading alongside Pelosi actually work?” So, here's the story on how it all works. All the way back in 2022, we recreated the Pelosi Portfolio based on her public filings, which at the time, was a novel idea bc most people didn't even realize politicians were allowed to trade stocks to begin with. And then listed the portfolio on our app, Autopilot. We came up with the idea first, because it's undeniably hilarious. It could not have been a better purple cow opportunity (thanks Seth). But it also was a unique, product-led way to market Autopilot. Autopilot was our pivot from a previous app we started in 2020 called Iris, and it was the first platform where everyday investors can connect their personal portfolios to trade alongside another portfolio, automatically. Some call it 'copy trading', but it's not. It's a completely new approach to how you decide what individual stocks to buy. Because "why pick your own stocks, when you could have the Speaker of the House do it for you?" (I love coming up with these slogans lol) And the way it works is simple: 1. Select the investor you want to trade alongside (in this case Pelosi) 2. Connect your brokerage account like Schwab, Robinhood, Public, etc. 3. Choose how much money you want to allocate. Then you're good to go, any time Pelosi files a new buy, your portfolio makes that same buy, automatically. So if you have $50,000 in a Public account, you could allocate $10,000 to Pelosi and that $10,000 will automatically trade alongside her. Today, over 125,000+ everyday Americans have connected their personal brokerage accounts and allocated more than $525,000,000 alongside Pelosi. Which already is insane because that's more capital than many professional investment funds manage (the irony). Now, Autopilot has many more investors to choose from besides just Pelosi, but for those who have ever been curious on how it all works, hope this clarifies some things. public_profile__posts 129 18 Comments Copy LinkedIn Facebook X Chris Josephs Chris Josephs 3w Report this post Chris Josephs shared this Social media algorithms are shaping the future in real time, and the PR crisis of Data Centers is a direct casualty. Creators have realize that bashing AI leads to more views which then leads to more creators making videos bashing AI solely to chase the views. The content flywheel then gets so strong that truth stops mattering. I think the AI data center PR crisis is about to get a lot worse, mainly driven by the algorithms. public_profile__posts 37 5 Comments Copy LinkedIn Facebook X Chris Josephs Chris Josephs 1mo Report this post Chris Josephs shared this A couple weeks ago we hosted our first Autopilot IRL in NYC with Peter Wolff , Dr. Alejandro Lopez-Lira , & Amit invests to chat about the future of stock picking. The TLDR? Peer-to-peer investing is here and will define the future of retail. Peter managed his own portfolio for 10+ years while working as a dermatology nurse practitioner. Now $275M of retail capital Autopilots his picks. Dr. Lopez-Lira earned a PhD from Wharton and spent years learning how to use AI to pick stocks. Now $225M follows his AI-driven portfolios. Amit runs the largest daily stock livestream in the world, with hundreds of thousands tuning in to hear his conviction on the market. Now he’s one of the faces of FinTwit. None of these guys have a Wall St. background, yet two of them have $500M+ already Autopiloting their stock picks. Actively managed ETFs are booming, imagine if anyone with a track record could run one. Shoot me a connection if you'd like to come to the next one, but here's some vibey pics from the event to prove they're fun. public_profile__posts 70 3 Comments Copy LinkedIn Facebook X No more next content Slide to item 1 Slide to item 2 Slide to item 3 Slide to item 4 Slide to item 5 Slide to item 6 Slide to item 7 Slide to item 8 Slide to item 9 Chris Josephs commented on a post 1w Can't teach social taste No more previous content Chris Josephs liked this Report this post Chris Josephs liked this Peter Nolan Peter Nolan 3h Chris Josephs liked this A year ago I joined Anthropic to bring AI to #wealth #management . Today, it’s happening with the launch of #Claude for Financial Advisors 🚀 WHY? THE ADVICE GAP IS AN AI-SHAPED PROBLEM 👇 Financial wellness improves when people get the right advice. The problem is only 4/10 have an advisor, and it’s a supply issue; the typical advisor spends just 1/6 of their time with clients, while the rest goes to prep, paperwork, and toggling between systems. Free them up, and more people get help. CLAUDE IS THE ORCHESTRATOR 🧩 Claude for Financial Advisors is an AI orchestrator connecting to custodians, portfolio management, CRMs, planning, estate, and meeting tools advisors already use. On top of that sit skills built around an advisor's day: meeting prep, follow-up, rebalance reviews, estate and tax briefs, and compliance review. ADVISORS DO WHAT THEY DO BEST ✅ Advisors have something unique tech can't replace: trust. That trust is what makes advice work, and our job is to give advisors more hours to spend on it. More hours means more households served well. That is the mission 🎯 THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING 🤝 What I'm proudest of: 11 wealth platforms, many of them competitors, building side by side. That only happens when an entire industry believes the moment is here. 🙏 Thank you to our partners: Charles Schwab , BlackRock , Addepar , Envestnet , iCapital , Orion , SS&C Technologies , Vanguard , Wealth.com , Wealthbox , and Zocks | AI for Advisors . And of course Artium AI for facilitating testing. 🙏 And to our design partners: Rockefeller Capital Management , Mercer Advisors , Ritholtz Wealth , Dynasty Financial Partners , and others for pressure-testing every skill. 🙏 To the team at Anthropic: Jillian Altamura , Belinda Neal , Drew Parker , Ancy Dow , Ryan Styrk, Taylor Richardson , Henry Hai, Dilshoda Yergasheva, Tobin South , Rohan E. George, Emily Brodsky , Emily Gray , Jonathan Pelosi , Eleanor Dorfman , Jonathan Jager-Hyman , and many more. I have never seen a group ship like this. Where to learn more? 🎤 At Future Proof ?
