The good news is the Broadcom shares were sold before that stock also fell in recent weeks with the technology sector suffering from a post-midterm election sell-off.
McGuire won a close re-election race in the 2026 midterms with 50.2% of the vote. He will continue to have to disclose his stock trades, which means investors will find out if he decides to sell Micron stock in the future.
McGuire's Trading History
Compared to other members of Congress who buy and sell stocks, McGuire is not as active.
The congressman has made 26 trades totaling around $208,000 since 2025, according to data from Quiver Quantitative.
Other recent trades in 2026 also centered on big technology, with McGuire buying shares of Nvidia, Meta Platforms, Microsoftand SpaceX.

Building Wealth Across More Than Just the Market
Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That's why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts. By spreading exposure across multiple asset classes, it becomes easier to manage risk, capture steady returns, and create long-term wealth that isn't tied to the fortunes of just one company or industry.
EquityMultiple
For accredited investors looking beyond stocks and bonds, EquityMultiple provides access to vetted commercial real estate deals starting at $5,000 , with only ~5% of opportunities passing their due diligence process.
Arrived
Backed by Jeff Bezos, Arrived Homes makes real estate investing accessible with a low barrier to entry. Investors can buy fractional shares of single-family rentals and vacation homes starting with as little as $100 . This allows everyday investors to diversify into real estate, collect rental income, and build long-term wealth without needing to manage properties directly.
American PowerGen
As artificial intelligence drives a surge in electricity demand, reliable power generation is becoming a critical part of the technology ecosystem. American PowerGen is developing natural gas-fired power plants in Texas, a fast-growing market fueled by AI data centers, manufacturing expansion, and population growth. By advancing projects through permitting, fuel supply, and grid interconnection, the company is positioning itself to help meet rising energy needs while offering investors exposure to the infrastructure supporting the next wave of AI and industrial growth.
