Congressional stock trading

The STOCK Act requires members of the US Congress to publicly disclose their stock transactions in periodic reports.

Under the STOCK Act of 2012, members of the US Congress — and their spouses and dependent children — must publicly disclose stock transactions in Periodic Transaction Reports (PTRs) filed with the House Clerk or Senate. stocks-llm ingests the House PTR filings and matches disclosed tickers to companies in its catalog.

These disclosures can lag the actual trade by up to 45 days, and the dollar figures are broad legally-defined ranges (for example "$1,001 – $15,000"), not exact amounts. A transaction may belong to the member, a spouse, or a dependent child — stocks-llm never attributes a family member’s trade to the member personally.

The data is presented for public-interest and informational purposes, reused from the official public disclosure record. It is not financial advice and is not an indicator of a company’s prospects.
