In a week that's been red for the market as a whole, our long-only strategy which mimicks stock trading by U.S. congressmen is up.

BREAKING: Speaker Mike Johnson just said he supports a ban on congressional stock trading.
But he also said he has sympathy for the counter-argument of:
"at least let them engage in some stock trading so they can continue to take care of their family"
BREAKING: Representative Shri Thanedar is introducing articles of impeachment against President Trump

JUST IN: Representatives Ro Khanna and Summer Lee will be announcing legislation to ban Super PACs in federal elections this afternoon

Wow.
Back in November, we reported extensively on a curious purchase of Viasat stock by a member of Congress.
$VSAT is now up 50% since our reports.
It's up another 7% today.
Look at this:
Senator Rand Paul just said:
“US tariffs inevitably bring Canadian, Mexican, and Chinese tariffs which means higher prices for lumber, steel, aluminum and more expensive homes and cars.”
Do you agree?

If anyone is wondering how a politician has made tens of millions of dollars on a $174K salary:
Check out Quiver.
It lets you track politicians’:
- Stock trading
- Portfolio
- Net Worth
- Corporate Donors
- Proposed Legislation
Along with data on hedge fund holdings, company financials, insider trading, and more.
Open to the public with no ads.
I try to post interesting insights from the data, but I think it’s important that the raw data is available to anyone who wants to do their own research.
Republican Senator Mike Lee has said that it's time to repeal the Jones Act.
The Jones Act mandates that all cargo transported between U.S. ports must be carried by vessels that are U.S. built, owned, and crewed.
Would likely have a big impact on shipping if this happens.

JUST IN: Senator Ashley Moody just filed her first trades as a member of Congress.

Howmet makes components for jet engines.

JUST IN: We have received data on new trades by Senator Ron Wyden.
Something caught my eye:
He bought up to $100K of Eli Lilly stock on January 22nd, and then sold it three weeks later.

Full trade list is up on Quiver.

Do you agree?
