If you're looking for someone who really likes buying big tech stocks, Louisiana Congressman Cleo Fields might be your guy. The Democratic representative, who was among Congress's biggest stock traders by dollar volume in 2025, just disclosed his first purchases of 2026, and the pattern is getting interesting.

What Fields Bought in January
Fields didn't waste much time getting back into the market this year. According to disclosure filings, here's what he picked up:
- Jan. 8: Bought $1,000 to $15,000 in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) shares
- Jan. 12: Bought $1,000 to $15,000 in Alphabet Class C (GOOG) shares
- Jan. 20: Bought $50,000 to $100,000 in Netflix Inc. (NFLX) shares
- Jan. 20: Bought $50,000 to $100,000 in IREN Ltd (IREN) shares
- Jan. 20: Bought $50,000 to $100,000 in Meta Platforms (META) shares
- Jan. 20: Bought $100,000 to $250,000 in Alphabet Class C (GOOG) shares
Notice anything? Fields bought Alphabet twice in January, including one purchase that dwarfed the others. That $100,000 to $250,000 transaction on January 20 was his biggest bet of the month. Across these six transactions involving five different companies, he put somewhere between $250,000 and $500,000 to work.
The Magnificent Seven Pattern is Breaking Down
Here's where things get interesting. Fields made his name in 2025 as a prolific buyer of Magnificent Seven stocks, pouring millions into the elite tech basket. But his 2026 start looks different. Only two Magnificent Seven names appear in his latest disclosure: Alphabet (GOOG) and Meta (META).
The Meta purchase is particularly notable because Fields had seemingly cooled on the stock. He hadn't bought Meta shares since September 2025, making this January purchase something of a reconciliation. Maybe he's betting on AI momentum, or maybe he just thinks the stock got cheap enough.
Alphabet remains Fields's most consistent play. He's been buying both Class A (GOOGL) and Class C shares regularly, with his most recent pre-2026 purchases coming in December 2025. The double buy in January suggests his conviction hasn't wavered.
The New Favorites
If you've been tracking Fields's trading activity, you've probably noticed Netflix (NFLX) and Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) showing up a lot. These aren't Magnificent Seven members, but they've become core holdings in his portfolio.
Netflix has been a particular favorite. Fields has accumulated over $1 million in Netflix shares over the past year, and he bought more in both December 2025 and January 2026. The streaming giant has essentially become an honorary member of his personal tech basket, often appearing in disclosures where other Magnificent Seven names are absent.
Taiwan Semiconductor follows a similar pattern. Fields last bought TSM shares in October 2025, making the January 8 purchase his first of 2026. Given the stock's position as the dominant semiconductor manufacturer and key supplier to companies like Apple and Nvidia, it's not hard to see the appeal. If you believe in the AI boom, you probably believe in whoever's making the chips.
As for IREN (IREN), this is a smaller play that Fields also bought in December 2025, maintaining his position into the new year.
What It All Means
Fields's trading pattern suggests he's still bullish on big tech, but he's becoming more selective. Rather than blanket-buying the Magnificent Seven, he's concentrating on specific names where he sees opportunity. The smaller position sizes compared to some of his 2025 trades might indicate caution, or it might just reflect normal portfolio rebalancing.
Either way, when one of Congress's most active stock traders is still buying tech after a massive 2025 run-up, it's worth paying attention to which names keep appearing. For Fields, that's increasingly looking like Alphabet, Netflix, and Taiwan Semiconductor.
