The Congress Trading module tracks stock investments by U.S. Congress members (Senate and House of Representatives). Thanks to the STOCK Act, this data is public.
Why It's Relevant
Congress members have access to privileged information through committees, classified briefings, and meetings with regulators. Academic studies have shown that their investments tend to outperform the market.
What It Shows
- Recent transactions: Buys and sells with date, estimated amount and politician
- Most active politicians: Who trades most frequently
- Favorite sectors: Which sectors Congress members invest in most
- Timing: Relationship between legislative votes and trades
Transparency: All data comes from mandatory public filings. This is not leaked information but regulatory data that any citizen can access.
