Congress Trades: Stock Trades Disclosed by Members of the House

The STOCK Act requires members of Congress, and their spouses and dependent children, to report each purchase, sale or exchange of a stock, bond or other security worth more than $1,000. The report is a Periodic Transaction Report, filed with the Clerk of the House within 30 days of the member learning of the trade and never more than 45 days after it. Each line names who holds the asset, what it is, the type of transaction, the dates, and the value.

The value is a range, not a number. A member picks a band such as $1,001 to $15,000 or $50,001 to $100,000, and that band is all the report says. We show the range as filed and never a midpoint or an estimate, because any single figure would be ours and not the filer's. Totals across trades are ranges for the same reason.

These are disclosures of trades that already happened, often weeks earlier, and the reports say nothing about why. A congress trade is a different kind of record from a corporate insider's Form 4, which is filed within two business days by someone who runs the company. Where a member of Congress and a company's own insiders traded the same stock, the tracker puts the two side by side.
