Marjorie Taylor Greene’s suspicious stock trade soars 29% despite tariffs

Given her lackluster stock pick history, Marjorie Taylor Greene is not the likeliest member of Congress to thrive in a challenging market, yet she appears to be one of the few investors to have recorded significant gains in recent weeks.

Specifically, on March 3, the Representative purchased up to $15,000 worth of Dollar General (NYSE: DG) shares at an approximate price of $71.89. On March 7, she executed another trade – also up to $15,000 in size – at $81.84, as uncovered by FInbold’s Congressional trading radar.

Though the second trade initially appeared poorly timed as DG stock halted its short-lived rally mere days later, subsequent trading led to a significant equity appreciation.

At press time on April 7, Dollar General shares are changing hands at $92.75, meaning they rose 29.02% from the first buy and 13.33% since the second trade. 

Simultaneously, DG is one of the few stocks that hasn’t been adversely affected by Liberation Day. The stock is up 8.89% in the last week and fell only 1.90% in the Friday, April 4 session. Monday’s pre-market also appears surprisingly positive, as the stock is up 0.022% in the extended session.

All in all, Representative Greene’s initial DG stock investment could have appreciated to $19,353 and the second to $16,999.50, meaning her’s profits could be as large as $6,352.50.

Lastly, it is worth pointing out that Dollar General shares were the singular truly clairvoyant investment Marjorie Taylor Greene made in recent weeks. Indeed, the Representative engaged in significant purchasing activity during March with her picks overwhelmingly either collapsing by press time or remaining relatively sideways.

She also purchased up to $750,000 worth of U.S. treasuries during the month.
