Company insiders are people such as directors and executives. Bars compare activity within each list; the largest value fills the bar. More activity does not mean a better investment.

Congress vs. company insiders · last 90 days

In 21 of the 24 stocks Congress traded most, insiders only sold. Insiders bought more than they sold in 3: PEP, INTC and BRK.B.

Of the stocks both members of Congress and company insiders traded in the last 90 days of disclosures, we took the 24 that the most members traded and list the 12 insiders sold most on balance. Open-market buys and sales only; insider dollars are shares times the price filed. Each bar splits buys (left) from sales (right).

Both parties are buying · last 12 months

43 stocks were bought by at least 2 Democrats and at least 2 Republicans in the last 12 months. MSFT drew the most: 15 members — 5 Democrats and 10 Republicans.

  1. 5 Democrats · 10 Republicans
  2. 4 Democrats · 11 Republicans
  3. 5 Democrats · 8 Republicans
  4. 4 Democrats · 9 Republicans
  5. 4 Democrats · 8 Republicans
  6. 3 Democrats · 5 Republicans
  7. 2 Democrats · 6 Republicans
  8. 3 Democrats · 5 Republicans
  9. 2 Democrats · 6 Republicans
  10. 5 Democrats · 3 Republicans

Members of Congress who disclosed buying each stock in the last 12 months, each counted once; the most buyers first (the top 10 of 43). Each bar is the stock's buyers against the most on this list, Democrats then Republicans. Members with no party on file, and independents, are not counted.

Where each party leans · last 12 months

Democrats bought more than they sold in 6 of 11 sectors; Republicans in 2. The widest gaps: Democrats in Industrials (40 more buys than sells), Republicans in Technology (53 more sells than buys).

Buys and sells members of Congress disclosed in the last 12 months, each trade counted once, by the sector of the stock; the busiest sector first. A bar runs right from the middle line when a party's members bought more than they sold there, left when they sold more — one scale for every bar. 198 trades in stocks with no sector on file are left out. Independents are not counted. A lean, not a signal.
