To get insight into what members of Congress are buying and selling, you can use platforms like Capital Trades, which aggregates stock disclosures from lawmakers in near real time. And to get even more tactical, you could filter for trades made within 48 hours of closed committee meetings or classified briefings. That's a major tell.
You could also track unusually large options activities, especially zero-day trades on platforms like Unusual Whales or Cheddar Flow. That's how the SPY trade that I mentioned at the top of the show got flagged.
You can look for these big plays and cross-reference the timing against the political calendar to try and infer whether these moves that you're seeing are being made by players in Washington. And if you really want to go next level, you can create a Google News alert for SEC filings. Look specifically for Form 4 insider filings or 13D disclosures.
Both will often drop subtle hints of market-moving intel before the news breaks. But if you are not trying to Nancy Drew it, here's today's tip you can take straight to the bank. There are ETFs that mimic the stock trades of politicians in Congress.
Like, for example, the ETF that follows Democratic stock trades with the ticker symbol N-A-N-C or the ETF that follows Republican stock trades K-R-U-Z. Nancy and Cruz. Get it? As in Nancy Pelosi and Ted Cruz.
If you like them, you could add these ETFs to your portfolio or you could just add them to your watch list and check out how the holdings of these ETFs are being bought and sold so that you can follow the money trail.

So I have written, count them, five books now. But each time I'm in the writing process, I stay at an Airbnb. I love to stay at an Airbnb. When I was actually first launching this show, I was at an Airbnb in Arizona. It was so peaceful. It was stunning. I could be productive and comfortable. The Airbnb was also surrounded by a ton of javelinas.
If you know Arizona, you know they're like wild pig creatures. But honestly, I love them too. Being away for work, for fun, or both is a perfect opportunity to host your space on Airbnb. And if you think that hosting is overwhelming, I have a solve for you. With Airbnb's co-host network, it's easier than ever before to host. It's also a great way to earn some extra cash, which I know we all love.
Now you can hire a quality local co-host to take care of your home and your guests. They can do everything from creating your listing to managing reservations to messaging guests and even providing on-site support. So if you've got a secondary property or an extended trip coming up and you need a little help hosting while you're away, you can hire a co-host to do the work for you.
Find a co-host at Airbnb.com slash host. I'm Nicole Lappin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand. It's time for some money rehab. You have more than one financial goal. How do I know that? Because we all do. The trick is, how do you work toward multiple goals at once? The answer isn't some money move that your future self will need to make.
The answer lies within the money moves you're making right now. And I'll show you how to make one of those money moves with the help of Bank of America, whom I partnered with for this episode. First, you'll meet someone who's debating this question right now, a money rehabber named Sarah. She already has some real estate investments, but she's thinking about buying another house in a few years.
Plus, her husband wants to retire early. So how does she balance these two goals? The answer is not waiting around until she's ready to buy a house or until the eve of her husband's wannabe retirement date. She has to put in the work now. She needs to know how much she can save for these future goals and then start saving.
So in this conversation, we do a deep dive into her finances so we can figure out that number together. But like most things in finance, these long-term goals are deeply tied to emotion. So in this conversation too, you'll hear about how watching her family go through the 2008 crisis has affected Sarah's thinking and how she takes a step toward overcoming that trauma in this very conversation.
Whatever goals you're working toward, long-term or short-term, Bank of America Corporation has the tools to help get you there at bfa.com slash financial next steps. But for now, let's get into it with Sarah. Sarah, welcome to Money Rehab.
So you want to buy a house in two years. You found yourself in a little bit, it sounds like, of a Goldilocks house situation. Can you tell me about what's going on?
What happened?
And so he first generation American.
But he's not saying buy the house in cash, right?
