Congressional stock trading is usually a game of “watch what they do, not what they say.” Everyone loves to track the big names… Pelosi, Crenshaw, or any other political household name whose brokerage account seems to operate on some kind of cheat code. But the real action is often in the trades that don’t make headlines.

So, let’s talk about Rep. Mark Green of Tennessee… a man whose opponents have been roasting him for his stock trades for years. And, well… they might be onto something.

Green has been quietly offloading shares of NGL Energy Partners like he got a tip or something. Since early January, he’s been selling the stock bit by bit, and what do you know (around $800k worth)? NGL is down 11% since his first sale. Even better? The company posted an earnings report that kinda makes it smell even more fishy.

NGL Energy reported a $15.4 million net loss last quarter, flipping from a $10.2 million profit the year before. Revenue fell off Mt. Everest, dropping from $1.87 billion to $1.55 billion, missing expectations by $160 million. Even their Water Solutions segment, which should have been a bright spot, saw operating income drop nearly $9 million, despite handling 10.4% more produced water than before. Even their crude oil pipeline volumes dropped from 70,000 barrels per day to 61,000, a clear sign of declining business. And now, in a classic sign of desperation, the company is scrambling to offload 18 gas terminals for $95 million just to stay in business.

No shocker here, the stock dropped 7% right after earnings. But Green? He didn’t wait around for the bad news to hit the public… he started cashing out months ago.

This isn’t some one-off lucky trade, either. Green has a track record of suspiciously well-timed market moves. His opponents have hammered him in attack ads, pointing out how he’s beaten the market by 400%, all while receiving closed-door briefings and pushing bills that benefit industries he’s invested in. Green, of course, claims innocence, saying his trades are handled by a broker and that he has “no insight into how trades are made.”

Right. And I’m sure Mark Zuckerberg just accidentally copied Snapchat (and Twitter).

Let’s not forget that in June, Green bought up to $250,000 in NGL stock, but then conveniently forgot to disclose it on time, violating the STOCK Act in the process. A few months later, he started unloading shares before their value collapsed. And the cherry on top? During all of this, he was out there loudly tweeting about “American energy independence” and even introduced a bill to ban U.S. oil imports from Venezuela, Russia, and Iran… essentially pumping up the industry’s narrative while personally getting out before the storm hit.

Maybe it’s all just a coincidence. Maybe Green’s gut instinct for bailing on NGL was just that good. But if you believe a sitting Congressman (who has access to economic reports and private industry briefings) doesn’t have an information advantage, I’ve got some FTX tokens to sell you.

This is exactly why we’re putting more focus on political trades outside the usual suspects. While the media obsesses over the biggest names, guys like Mark Green are out here making all the right moves at all the right times, with barely anyone paying attention. And let’s not forget… this is the same Congress currently debating whether to ban lawmakers from trading stocks entirely. The fact that so many of them are fighting it tooth and nail should tell you everything you need to know.

PS: Last week, I broke down a stock that both Nancy Pelosi and Cathie Wood just bought… but here’s the thing: it was only available for premium members.

Not only did I reveal the stock, but I also dissected Nancy’s trade structure, proving she’s in it for the long haul. If you weren’t a premium member, you missed the breakdown on why her entry signals serious conviction… the kind of insight that separates smart traders from the ones just chasing headlines.
