Congress’ Top Day Traders

The trading floor at the New York Stock Exchange seems to have found an unlikely extension into the corridors of Congress, with some members engaging in over 200 trades in the past six months. But beyond the volume of trades, the real question lies in their performance.

We're excited to announce that our dashboard will soon feature premium analytics, providing a revealing look into the outcomes of these legislative stock plays!

Top Congress Traders of the Year

Congress's top traders are not just active in the market; they're outpacing it with impressive returns. The massive returns casts a spotlight on ethical dilemmas. How is it that Congress members are able to achieve such strong returns year after year?

With privileged access to sensitive legislative insights and the power to sway laws, these lawmakers' successful trades could be seen as a conflict of interest to say the least. Here’s a glimpse into their returns over the last 6 months (while S&P500 is up only 14%).

Intriguingly, their market performance has not only been solid, but has also outperformed some hedge funds. It's a curious thought – could Capitol Hill be the new scouting ground for hedge fund talent?

To further fuel your curiosity and possibly pockets, we're rolling out a new feature: an in-depth analytic tool that tracks the biggest trades by Congress and full insight into their performance returns.

Whether you're looking to learn from their moves or just peek at the intersection of politics and finance, this tool will offer a window into the size and scope of congressional trading activity, across any period you choose.

Here’s a glimpse of the largest trades (purchases only) over the last 3 months. The stakes are high, with trades soaring into the hundreds of thousands. This level of trading raises eyebrows and questions alike, especially when you consider that these individuals amass net worths in the millions on a public servant's salary, sparking a debate on the ethics of profit in public service.

Uber Executives Take the Exit Ramp After Positive Earnings

In the wake of a robust earnings report, the Uber executive suite seems to have hit the 'sell' button with notable enthusiasm. The chart presents a striking visual of insider activity versus share price: as the stock climbed the ladder to a commendable $$80 per share, insider sales surged right at the peak. The timing of these sales, closely following the earnings announcement, could raise questions about the executives’ confidence in the company's near-term growth trajectory.

It's a classic Wall Street waltz – earnings go up, and the insiders cash out. Savvy move or a signal of turbulence ahead? Investors are buckled in, watching the insider trading indicators with as much interest as the road ahead.

Billionaires Start Cashing Out

Insiders across the market sold big last week, but none larger than Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos, who offloaded over $6 billion in Amazon stock. His largest stock sales ever.

The last time he sold was November ‘21 and he pretty much top-ticked the market.

Bezos isn’t alone, as Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg has sold over $750 million in Meta stock over the past month. Those underground doomsday bunkers don’t pay for themselves!

Largest Congress Sales of the Month

Senator Tommy Tuberville was busy offloading off his positions this month, selling over $1,750,000 in stocks!

Selling of this magnitude is nothing to glance over, what does he know?
