Foreign 2022 Congressional Stock Trading Report from the team over at Unusual Whales. Analyzing publicly accessible Financial Disclosures: we found that a quarter of Congress actively traded up to 788 million in various assets through almost 13 000 transactions in 2022. Although this matches the number of transactions in 2021, the total value has dropped. Interesting.

Now the first thing I really want to say about this is our publicly elected officials. How do they have time to do this? How do they have time to be doing this much trading? Up to 788 million? We're talking about politicians trading almost a billion dollars I Get it? I'm an asshat who's degenerately trading because that's what you crazy people like to see me do. What's insane is that our elected officials are doing it even worse than me when they have a job you know, representing their constituents for the greater good of their whatever locality. State Country The top sectors with the highest stock Investments were technology Services Electronic technology Finance Consumer Services yada yada yada Congress Beat the Spy based on total returns of 2022.

So that's basically saying that they outperformed the market as in they outperformed hedge funds as well as the secondary way of calculating based on if they traded spy instead of stocks they traded. top political traders in 2021 were not necessarily the top traders in 2022. This is the difference between 20-20 1 in 2022. So Republicans dropped their total trades from 388 million to 292 and Democrats dropped their trading from 434 million to 371.

So Based on this, in both years, Democrats traded more in the house and then if we look at the Senate a little bit different Republican Senators traded 107 million in 2021 85 and then for Democrats 51 down to 40. So a little bit opposite there of how they decided to do it. The second and third highest volume Traders were also from the house. two House Republicans Uh, holy crap.

1.6 000 transactions. What were? they were trading five times a day? 176 million dollars. This person's not doing their job. Wow.

Michael And then Diana A thousand transactions trading three times a day. We are paying these people to degenerately trade their own account. Who who's the worst one? We see that the most prolific Trader in the house was Democrat and self-proclaimed Progressive Capitalist Rokana. Most of his disclosures reveal a very large and diverse family stock portfolio with all trades registered under his wife or his children.

His two children are both under six years old and yet somehow traded specifically kind of disclosed over 5.7 000 trades totaling a 151 million in 2021. 5.7 000 trades. Wow. So there's roughly 250 trading days in a year, which means on average per training day, they're Trading 23 different times.

That is absolutely ridiculous per trading day, sling in 23 different trades on average 151 million and then next one was Michael here 176 million. So more money but less trades almost a fourth of the sides of Trades That's crazy. So Kana trading the most 151 Michael here. trading one down actually from 186 to 176 trading even more last year Rick Scott I mean no one's really touching these numbers.

Rokana and Michael McCall are clear abusers. Holy cow, the average trading activity dropping Or democrats increasing though interesting and I guess Republicans love Dao and EPA M ooh Democrats love Visa and Republicans love XOM Exxon Senators Big fans of Microsoft PayPal Why are they fans of PayPal Republicans are supporting PayPal Republican Senators are supporting a company who wants to find you for misinformation. Top estimated Congressional stock returns in 2022. Mike Kelly winning and then Roger Marshall also winning Mike Dude who is Mike Kelly and when is Mike Kelly going to be selling or a David Throne Like any of these guys, these are phenomenal.

Returns: 239 200, 81, 65, 61, 58, 49 46 I want you to know the Spy the overall Market Lost 18 So while the overall Market went down the top five in all these like really all the way down like these are crazy returns uh, members of Congress that beat the Spy in 2021 so Patrick Fallon Cleaning up Debbie Schultz Cleaning up Susie Lee doing pretty good David Joyce Pretty good Gary Peters Pretty good honestly. I don't even recognize most of these names I do recognize numbers though. and if you're getting these types of returns literally, I mean these numbers are beating. Citadel Citadel The World's Foremost Market Acre who's basically the house in the scenario and doesn't lose return like 32 percent.

And these people are outperforming them when it's not even their job. They're not supposed to have a background in the market. their job is to be. You know our leaders and do things for us.

There are public officials and yet they are mercking the market. Pelosi Actually lost this year Pelosi Lost 19.8 average Returns on defense stocks Earl Blumenauer crushing it in the War uh, Marjorie green Taylor She's a crazy person, but she's crushing it on the war too. and she's funny. average Returns on defense stocks in 2022.

she was also the one who was talking about like warmongering and War profiteering. and she was the third best war propheteer in Congress apparently. Pfizer who's making money on Pfizer Rokana actually lost in their six-year-old Traders as well. or the two kids who are below six years old.

uh, crushing it on Pfizer Thomas Carper Mo Brooks What's nice about this is It's bipartisan. Honestly I Don't think that gets enough attention. The fact that both Democrats and Republicans are kind of stabbing the public in the back with their trading. It's a beautiful bipartisan thing.

It's not just Democrats It's not just Republicans it's the fact that all these asshats who were elected by us which I think probably makes us the biggest asshats are just abusing their position to line their pockets. A beautiful highlight: Showcase of bipartisan efforts amount of number of Trades is close to handwritten filings. Rokana so whoa whoa handwritten. They traded 5.7 000 times.

These people are so scummy. average in lobbying companies and non-lobbying companies. Apparently, lobbying in the Senate is very worth it. Uh, you almost get two extra return while lobbying in the house.

Not really worth squat, but hey, if there's any lobbyist paying attention, you definitely want to Lobby in the Senate 2x that return Pelosi stock return getting crushed on Google Tesla Salesforce Roblox Netflix and Facebook Well there you go. Um, that's a quick breakdown from Unusual Whales Team: The 2022 Congressional Stock Trading Report: Um, we're not seeing a lot of repeat names. The difference from 2021 to 2022 is pretty Stark And the major thing that jumps out to me is just the amount of people making a high amount of Trades I Mean those people out traded me And this is what I do day in and day out with all of you. They're elected officials who are trading multiple times.

more like magnitudes more than the average day trader. That is absolutely insane. Obviously, if you want to go through it with a fine-tooth comb, check it out on Unusual Whales. Ridiculous.
