Returns are per decision, equal weight, measured from the day the report became public. A record at the minimum (5 decisions, 3 companies) is marked thin.

Tap a column to sort by it. "Decisions" counts the separate calls that are old enough to have a three month number, and "Companies" how many different companies they cover. A member joins this table on 5 decisions across 3 companies, so a run of buys in one share is not a record.

Every decision counts once and counts the same, because a Congress report gives ranges, not amounts. One company in one report is one decision, however many lines it was filed on. Measured from the close of the first trading day after the filing date, because a report can be posted a day after the date it carries and the hour is never given, so this is what a reader could have done, not what the member did.

Ranked by what the trades did beyond the S&P 500 over the same days, so a record that only rode a rising market does not sit at the top. The plain return is in the next column. Pick a window above the table: one month, three months or six months. Each window ranks the people whose decisions are old enough to have a number for it, so the one month board has more names than the six month board.

The small line under a name is that person's sales over the same window: what the stock did after each sale against the S&P, sign flipped, so a positive number means the stock fell behind the market after the sale. Sales never move the ranking.
