What a transaction count does and does not show
A high count can come from many members or from a few. MSFT was traded by 55 members. Of the 15 stocks in the table, MU has the fewest members behind it: 10 for 117 transactions. Across all 1,686 symbols, 102 were traded by 10 or more members and the median symbol appears in 4 transactions.
The count says how often a stock appears in the filings. It does not say how large the positions are or how the trades performed. The dollar ranges are covered in how big Congress’s stock trades are, what members reported buying over the latest 90 days of reports in what stocks Congress is buying right now, the split between purchases and sales in is Congress buying or selling stocks, the same counts grouped by industry in what sectors members of Congress trade the most, and returns against the S&P 500 in does Congress beat the stock market.
Transactions reported without a ticker symbol (bonds, Treasuries, private funds) are not in this ranking: 5,606 of the 29,490 on record. A transaction is a purchase, a sale or an exchange, so a stock's purchases and sales can add up to less than its total. A ticker is counted as the filer or the portal wrote it, so two share classes of one company are two rows. How filings are collected and parsed is in the methodology.
