The Most-Traded Stocks in Congress
Congress trades a long tail of names, but a familiar short list shows up over and over. These are the stocks with the most disclosed trades across all members, straight from STOCK Act filings, ranked by how often they appear.
Right now $MSFT leads, with 301 disclosed trades across 50 members. The names near the top tend to be the same large-cap tech and blue-chip stocks that dominate ordinary portfolios, a useful reminder that most congressional trading looks a lot like everyone else’s.

Most-traded is not the same as highest-conviction
A stock appearing on this list means it is popular in Congress, not that any particular trade in it is a strong signal. The number that matters is conviction: how fast a trade was disclosed, how large it was, whether several members piled into the same name at once, and the track record of who made it. Coldpine scores every disclosed trade on exactly those factors, see how the scoring works.
You can open any ticker for the full list of members trading it and Coldpine’s read on the strongest signal, or browse every stock Congress trades and every member.
