    The problem with this is the delay in reporting. By the time the info is public, the value has usually already changed

    Which is by design, of course. That way congresspeople get the inside track of the trading, helping them profit from their insider information before anyone else knows.

    Not at all something that’s illegal to do for everyone else, nuh-uh! 😠

    How does it compare to the S&P500?

    They consistently outperform the market, of course. Like most people engaging in insider trading do.
