Tim Moore arrived in Congress last January as the former North Carolina House Speaker, which means he arrived knowing exactly how the sausage gets made. He sits on the House Financial Services Committee, including the Digital Assets, Financial Technology, and Artificial Intelligence subcommittee. Then he bought Intel three times in ten days last August. Then he sold it at a profit. The public record is what it is.
What Social Is Saying
Moore is not breaking cable news today. But he's circulating on Bluesky, and the posts are pointed. One flags that he holds roughly $3.2 million in publicly traded assets, with exposure to data center-adjacent names. Another notes his two most recent purchases: Rolls-Royce Holdings (RYCEY, K-5K) and InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG, K-5K), both on May 7. A third flags his May 18 AT&T buy (5K-$50K), disclosed May 19. None of that's disqualifying on its own. The pattern is what earns the second look.
The Intel Trade Cluster
Here's the section that matters. Per Moore's full disclosure record on Blind Trust, between August 1 and August 13, 2025, he executed four trades in Intel (INTC):
- August 1: Purchase, 5K-$50K. Thirty-day alpha: +24.6%.
- August 8: Purchase, 5K-$50K. Thirty-day alpha: +23.0%.
- August 11: Purchase, 5K-$50K. Thirty-day alpha: +17.9%.
- August 13: Sale, 00K-$250K. Thirty-day alpha: +7.0%.
Three buys averaging roughly $32K each, then a sale in the 00K-$250K range twelve days later at a gain. The trades are flagged in the disclosure record as carrying a committee overlap with Technology, which sits squarely in the remit of his Digital Assets, Financial Technology, and Artificial Intelligence subcommittee.
The timing is the thing. What Moore had read, what he discussed in that subcommittee's closed sessions in late July and early August 2025: the disclosure record doesn't say. It says he bought, held twelve days, and sold higher. Readers get to bring their own opinion.
Then There's Nvidia
One more committee-overlap trade in the scored sample. On March 24, 2026, Moore sold Nvidia (NVDA) in the 5K-$50K range. The thirty-day alpha on that sale: essentially flat, at -0.0%. No edge captured, no harm done, and no floor vote in the disclosed record that maps to that date. But Nvidia is squarely in the technology jurisdiction his subcommittee covers, so the position itself is logged as an overlap. The sale looks like a wash. It's still worth noting that a member overseeing AI and digital assets policy held Nvidia at all.
The Rest of the 90-Day Window
Set the committee-overlap trades aside and the last 90 days read like a retail investor who changes his mind a lot.
Moore bought LGI Homes (LGIH) four times between March 12 and March 20, ranging from 5K-$50K to $50K-00K per transaction. Then on March 26, six days after his last buy, he sold LGIH in the 00K-$250K range. That's a full position cycle in fourteen days. Whether he timed it well or poorly, the disclosure record doesn't show the closing prices. It shows the dates.
He bought Cracker Barrel (CBRL) on March 23 (5K-$50K) and sold it on April 1 (5K-$50K). Nine days. For context: a prior CBRL purchase from December 31, 2024 produced a 32.1% thirty-day alpha, his second-best scored trade in the full sample. The March 2026 version closed in a week. Make of that what you will.
He bought Harley-Davidson (HOG) on March 12 (5K-$50K) and sold it on April 7 ($50K-00K). That's a larger exit than entry, suggesting he added to the position somewhere, or the range brackets just reflect normal price movement. The filing shows what the filing shows.
Then the May cluster: RYCEY and IHG on May 7, AT&T on May 18. Rolls-Royce makes engines, IHG runs hotels, AT&T sells wireless contracts. The Venn diagram with Moore's Financial Services committee jurisdiction is three non-overlapping circles. These are just trades.
His Overall Record
Across 86 scored trades in the full sample, Moore has come out ahead on 58 and behind on 28. Mean thirty-day alpha across the sample: plus 5.0% above the S&P 500. That's a better record than most members of Congress who file disclosures, and it covers a sample size large enough to be somewhat meaningful. It's not evidence of anything other than a congressman who trades actively and has, to this point, beaten the market more often than not.
The worst trades in the record belong to Hyster-Yale Group (HY), a forklift manufacturer. He sold HY on October 24, 2025 (00K-$250K) and logged a -23.7% thirty-day alpha on that sale. He sold again on December 3, 2025 (00K-$250K) for -13.6%. A HOG sale on November 28, 2025 came in at -14.9%. These are the trades that balance the Intel cluster. An 86-trade sample with a 5.0% mean and three committee-overlap winners still has 28 losers. The record is the full record, not a highlight reel.
The Floor Votes
On May 20 and 21, 2026, Moore voted yes on a batch of Financial Services-adjacent bills: the American Access to Banking Act, the Community Bank Deposit Access Act of 2025, and the Keeping Deposits Local Act, all passed May 20. These are squarely in his Financial Services committee's wheelhouse.
His disclosed trades in the 90-day window don't include any bank stocks. His recent buys are a telecom, a hotel chain, a British aerospace firm, and a homebuilder. The votes and the portfolio don't overlap here, at least not in any way the filing data makes legible. The vote-trade overlap table in the disclosure record comes back empty for this window.
The committee-overlap story is the Intel cluster from August 2025, not the May 2026 floor votes. That distinction matters, and the data supports it.
The Data Center Note
The Bluesky conversation flagging Moore's $3.2 million in holdings specifically mentions data center exposure. His subcommittee covers artificial intelligence. Intel and Nvidia both supply chips that power data centers. Moore held both. He traded both. His subcommittee is one of the few in the House with explicit jurisdiction over AI infrastructure policy.
