In a recently filed Periodic Transaction Report, Senator Shelley Capito of West Virginia disclosed stock purchases in General Electric Company $GE and Broadcom Inc $AVGO.

The transactions, each valued between $1,000 and $15,000, signal potential confidence in these market-leading companies.

Last month, Broadcom had its best single day rally in history, breaking to new all time highs following earnings.

Price is currently consolidating in a tight pattern, digesting its gains.

The path of least resistance is clearly higher and we believe it is just a matter of time before AVGO continues its ascent.
