Disclosed 79 days after the earliest trade

Rep. Dan Crenshaw dumped Google, Amazon, and Apple in June while picking up oil futures and Meta stock in back-to-back trades, a pattern that suggests congressional betting on energy upside over mega-cap tech headwinds.

On June 1, 2026, Crenshaw sold positions in Alphabet (GOOG), Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), and Meta (META), as well as FAS, all in the $1K–$15K range each. The same day he purchased the United States 3x Oil Fund (USOU), a leveraged instrument that amplifies moves in crude oil prices, also in the $1K–$15K range. The disclosure was filed on July 16, 2026, a lag of 79 days from the trades.

The Meta activity adds a layer of complexity to the picture. Crenshaw had purchased Meta shares on April 28, sold a tranche on May 5, and then sold again on June 1 — a quick in-and-out sequence that ended with him fully exiting the position alongside the broader mega-cap tech selldown.

Congressional trade disclosures are required under the STOCK Act but carry wide value ranges, so the precise dollar amounts of each transaction remain unknown. What the filings do show is a clear directional shift: out of large-cap technology names and into a leveraged long on crude oil, all executed on the same day.

  • Cook argues the reshoring creates a domino effect pulling foreign suppliers onshore

Apple's capital now decides which US manufacturers get scale: Cook has put $600 billion behind the reshoring pledge, with Corning the first proof point. Cramer's challenge is whether that is anywhere near enough for holders of the supplier names.
