A trade with no listed ticker, or a ticker the SEC does not classify, is not counted in any sector. How every sector compares across Congress: What Sectors Do Members of Congress Trade the Most?

Between the trade and the disclosure
Across the 144 purchases of energy stocks Coldpine can price, the stock moved +3.44% on average between the trade date and the date the member disclosed it, against +2.91% for the S&P 500 over the same windows, a difference of +0.53 points. The median purchase moved +1.46%. The stock was higher at disclosure in 60% of those purchases and did better than the S&P 500 in 46%.
Of the 12 sectors with 30 or more priced purchases, 2 outpaced the S&P 500 on average over these windows (technology and energy); energy ranks 2nd by the difference. This is a record of what already happened in a window no one reading the filings could trade, not a forecast. Method: what stocks do before Congress discloses.
