What happened after they bought

Every disclosed buy that has since been sold, with what the stock did at one week, one month and three months from the purchase date — and the headlines published while the position was held. Is it too late to copy a congressional trade? measures whether the disclosure lag is what costs a copier the return, or whether there was no return to lose.

The Δ figure beneath each return is the move net of that stock's own sector benchmark ETF over the identical window. It is the one that matters: a stock that rose 8% while its sector rose 9% did not do well. How this is calculated.

Headlines are context, not evidence. They are the news published between the purchase and the sale, gathered automatically by ticker. They are not proof that a member saw them, acted on them, or knew anything before the market did. Where they come from.

Collection stopped on 27 September 2026. The source's terms cover personal, non-commercial use in a feed reader, which this site is not, so the 4,891 lookups already held stay and no more are made. Every position closed before that date keeps its headlines; one closed after it shows none. A blank here means nobody looked, not that nothing was written.

Positions still open are not listed — there is no sale to measure against yet. Showing the 150 most recently closed of 4,058.
