Track what's actually being bought

See what Congress & insiders are buying.

When members of Congress trade stocks, when CEOs buy their own company, when companies win government contracts — we collect those public filings and turn them into tested trading signals. And unlike most sites, we show the honest scorecard: every test, including the ones that didn't work, with every number traceable to its source.

Brave When It Bleeds LONG

Congress purchase on a date when the Fear-and-Greed composite was in the deep-Fear regime (F&G <= 30) within the trailing 14 days. Sibling to insiderBuyDuringFearBuy which scored +3.75% alpha on n=566 — same stacking thesis applied to political trades. Two independent edges: the individual congressional conviction (the politician knows what they're buying), and the macro mean-reversion read (the whole market is washed out). Bonus: politicians stress-test the 'they're buying because they know something' theory in the worst-case sentiment regime.
