Most of the time, when a politician buys a little stock… say, anything under six figures, I shrug and think “well, they must be broke.” No red flags. No story. Just another day of legally sketchy trading on Capitol Hill. But sometimes, that thinking does us dirty. Real dirty. Because sometimes… a $15,000 trade ends up whispering about a $10 billion deal.

That’s where Marjorie Taylor Greene struts in… yes, that MTG. The CrossFit-loving, conspiracy-spewing Congresswoman who once floated the idea that wildfires might’ve been caused by space lasers (yes, really). Basically, if Alex Jones and a pre-workout supplement had a baby, Joe Rogan would invite it on the podcast yesterday. On May 5th, she reported buying up to $15,000 worth of Boeing stock. Now, I know what you’re thinking… $15K? That’s barely enough to buy a Ford F-150 with working AC. Why are we even talking about it?

Because four days later, on May 9th, the U.S. government (under Trump’s commerce-friendly squad) announced that Britain would be purchasing $10 billion worth of Boeing jets as part of a new bilateral trade deal. Not long after, British Airways’ parent company, IAG, confirmed that they were the buyer, placing an order for 32 new Boeing 787s. Total list price? $12.8 billion. And to balance things out diplomatically, IAG also dropped $8 billion on Airbus jets. That way, no one in Brussels starts throwing tantrums about unfair U.S. favoritism.

Here’s where it gets wild… Boeing already had a backlog of 149 aircraft orders from UK buyers before this announcement. So this new wave of orders sends that backlog skyrocketing. And let’s not forget, British Airways just ate a $50 million loss after a power outage shut down Heathrow for a day. So the fact they’re still throwing cash around on new jets? That’s definitely not business as usual. That’s bullish behavior. And the market noticed. When the news broke, Boeing’s stock jumped over 4%, like it suddenly remembered how to fly.

Now, to be “fair,” Marjorie had no way of knowing this international deal was about to drop. Totally a coincidence that she quietly reported she scooped up Boeing stock four days before it made front-page headlines. Totally normal. Totally chill.

But even if we pretend this was all just dumb luck, the timing is still insane. MTG reports on May 5th. The $10 billion announcement hits on May 9th. Boeing stock starts moving like it just got a double shot of espresso and a motivational speech from Tony Robbins. And the rest of us are left staring at the chart, trying to figure out who knew what and when.

So maybe next time a politician makes a “small” trade, we shouldn’t scroll past it like it’s nothing. Because sometimes, $15,000 is far more than a dabble… sometimes it’s a signal that something big is coming.
