How to Interpret These Disclosures
All trade data shown here comes from official STOCK Act filings. Using this public government data for investment research is entirely legal — the STOCK Act was designed precisely to give citizens visibility into congressional trading activity.
Key limitations to keep in mind: the STOCK Act allows up to 45 days between a transaction and its public disclosure. By the time you see a filing, any information advantage that may have existed at the time of the trade has likely been incorporated into market prices.
Trade amounts are disclosed as ranges, not exact figures. For example, a filing showing "$50,001 – $100,000" means the actual amount could be anywhere in that bracket. This limits precision in dollar-value analysis.
