23 of 68 members beat the index. Ranked on what they have already done — not a forecast.
Both dollar figures above are equities only, on purpose. Across every asset class, volume reads $2.0B and net flow reads +$442.2K — but those are dominated by fixed income: a Treasury bill reaching maturity is disclosed as a sale, so one member rolling bills can outweigh every stock trade in Congress. Only 28% of the all-asset volume is actually stock. Right now Darrell Issa alone accounts for −$250.5M of it — remove that one person and the all-asset number changes sign.
Flow over time
Estimated dollars bought and sold each month. A tall column is usually one heavy filer, not the chamber moving together.
Strongest leans right now
Tickers where several politicians moved the same way, recently.
Of 1,011 tickers with two or more politicians trading them, 43 show any directional lean — 4.3%. The rest is noise, and that is the honest headline.
