Follow the money.
Not the party.

Politicians are buying stocks weeks before major votes. Executives are loading up before earnings surprises. Billion-dollar funds are rotating in silence. All of it is filed in public. Almost none of it gets read.

  • We read the filings — congressional, insider, and institutional
  • We work out what actually happened, and why it matters
  • You get one story a day, with every claim linked to its source
  • No stock picks, no paywall, no party line

This is what actually shows up.

Not a digest of ticker symbols. A story, with a beginning and a point — built out of documents anyone could have pulled and nobody did.

They're banning the buying, not the owning

The beat

Four places the money leaves a paper trail.

We don't cover the market. We cover the disclosures the market hasn't priced in yet — and the policy that moves them.

Capitol Hill

STOCK Act disclosures from the House and Senate — who traded what, and what was on the calendar that week.

The C-suite

SEC Form 4 open-market buys. Not option grants, not scheduled sales — executives writing personal checks.

The big funds

Quarterly 13F filings. Where the largest pools of capital actually rotated, versus where the commentary said they went.

Policy & supply

Energy, defense, critical minerals, grid capacity. The votes and contracts that decide which filings matter next.

Proof of method · live from the filing feeds

Here's the raw material, before we turn it into a story.

Everything below is computed in your browser from real filings — House Periodic Transaction Reports and SEC Form 4 open-market purchases. This is the pile we read every day so you don't have to.

How late the news reaches you

Days between a member of Congress executing a trade and the public being able to see it. The law allows 45.

Two days versus forty-five

Corporate insiders file in two business days. Congress gets 45. Same market, wildly different clocks.

Largest insider purchases in the current batch

Shares acquired × price paid, straight off the face of each Form 4. Amber bars are filed by an officer of the company.

Cluster detected · the pattern we hunt for

Four directors of the same bank. Same day. Same price.

One insider buying is a data point. Four board members of one company filing open-market purchases on the same date at an identical price is a story — and it's exactly what a headline alert will never surface for you.
