Aug 14 to Aug 20, 2023 · 7 reports · 85 trades

7 members of Congress filed 7 periodic transaction reports between August 14 and August 20, 2023, disclosing 85 trades with a listed ticker (30 purchases and 55 sales) across 23 tickers. Members report brackets rather than amounts, so the week's disclosed value falls somewhere in $2.2M–$5.5M, 85 trades from the House. Every trade in the week's reports was disclosed inside the 45-day window the STOCK Act allows, at a median of 26 days after the trade.

This page covers one Monday-to-Sunday filing week and does not change once the week has closed. The newest closed week is always at the current drop, and every week on record is in the archive. Every figure below is a count, a date, a disclosed amount range, or a lag against the STOCK Act deadline, and every one of them can be checked against the underlying reports.

To work with the numbers rather than quote them, every week on record is downloadable as CSV or JSON: one row per filing week, with the reports filed, members filing, trades disclosed and trades that missed the 45-day deadline. Free to reuse with attribution.

The source records are the periodic transaction reports members file with the House Clerk and the Senate Office of Public Records; Coldpine parses them and counts what they contain. How the parsing works, and what it misses, is in the methodology; who publishes this and how to reach us for a correction is on the masthead. Machine-readable access to the same data is documented for developers and AI assistants.
