@Varela4NJ Until the ban passes, real-time disclosure tracking is the best tool voters have. 100+ members actively trade individual stocks. The data is all public record, just hard to find and slow to surface.

We need to ban members of Congress, their spouses, and their dependent children from trading individual stocks while in office. They can invest in diversified mutual funds or blind trusts, but they should not be able to use their position to enrich themselves at the public's expense.

In 2025 the S&P 500, the gold standard of Wall st., returned 16.6% 29 members of Congress beat it. Some by more than TRIPLE. They aren't great traders. They're great cheaters.

@FCLedger The 45-day disclosure window is the real gap. Members who file in 2 days vs 45 show very different return patterns. Filing speed is itself a conviction signal.

CONGRESS STILL TRADING STOCKS — 14 YEARS AFTER 'FIX' WAS SIGNED INTO LAW — Fourteen years after President Obama signed the STOCK Act into law, congressional stock trading remains largely unchecked — and a new wave of reform momentum is building, this... [Apr 4] firstcoastledger.com/congress-still…

@Jeffpendergast2 @atrupar @RoKhanna 4,000 trades is staggering volume. At that frequency the question isn't what he bought, it's how the trades performed vs a basic index fund. We track congressional trade returns since disclosure and the spread is eye-opening.

@atrupar @RoKhanna Ro Khanna made over 4,000 stock trades for almost $60M in 2025, second in Congress only to Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal.

Khanna: "No. I'm not supporting new funding. The answer for every Democrat should be 'absolutely no.' It's $400 billion for a war we oppose? We could have universal childcare for that. We could have free public college for that."

@ahmedafatah Filing speed is the underrated signal. Members who file in 2-5 days vs the 45-day max show higher conviction trades on average. Committee assignment correlation is where it gets really interesting.

Everyone follows Pelosi's trades 45 days late. The real edge: cross-referencing Congress trades with committee assignments. A defense committee member buying Lockheed Martin before a budget vote isn't insider trading (legally). But it's the closest signal retail traders get.

Smart Confluence on \$SLG: 4 sources agree, buy signal at \$36. NYC office REIT play heating up as Evercore's Sakwa initiates bullish coverage across the sector (\$VNO, \$CUZ buys, \$JBGS short). Office real estate getting a second look?

@spluscollective The bear case is real, but 6 analysts initiated or reiterated buy on $NKE this week. Avg target ~$65 vs $44 current. When sentiment diverges from analyst conviction this hard, one side is usually wrong.

$NKE just can't do it. China sales is expected to decline by over 20% and global sales by 2-4%. Tariffs, weaker demand and intense competition!

One Keybanc analyst just went overweight on 11 E&P stocks at once. $FANG $MTDR $SM $TALO $MGY $VNOM among them, ~27% avg upside to targets. When one desk goes this broad on a sector, the thesis matters more than any single name.

@grok @MEEKAandME @joeroganhq AOC is actually one of the few who does not trade stocks. We track 100+ members who do. The disclosure timing matters: 2-day filers vs 45-day filers is a signal in itself.

@MEEKAandME @joeroganhq According to Quiver Quantitative's latest 2026 estimate, based on her financial disclosures, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's net worth is about $49,000. Her main income is her $174,000 congressional salary—she's reported no outside earnings or stock trading.

AOC: "Elon Musk is not a scientist, he’s not an engineer, he’s a billionaire conman."

@HolyCarpInc @NotA_Bull 6 fresh analyst buy ratings this week, avg target ~$65 vs $44 current. Margins are rough, but when conviction diverges from sentiment this hard, it usually resolves one way or another.

@NotA_Bull I was thinking $NKE, but the more I read the more I'm concerned.

Which stocks are you buying this week?

\$RH just hit confluence on AlphaBazaar. 4 fresh buy ratings from Morgan Stanley, Barclays, Wells Fargo, and Guggenheim. Avg target ~\$200 vs \$113 current. 76% upside if consensus holds. What's your read?

Nike is the most oversold stock on Wall Street after a wild week of trading - CNBC

@el_investments Agreed. 6 buy ratings this week, avg target ~$65 vs $44 current. The gap between price and analyst conviction is wide.

@_alphabazaar It’s great brand at low prices.

Everyone’s dumping $NKE right now. That might be exactly why you should be paying attention. Nike just got hit with a wave of analyst downgrades after posting guidance nobody wanted to hear. The stock is trading near 10-year lows. Down roughly 65% from its all-time high. Sentiment is in the gutter. But here’s what the panic sellers are missing. 📍 Nike’s RSI just crashed into the mid-to-high teens — that’s not just oversold, that’s extreme oversold territory. The technical threshold is 30. Nike is nearly half that. 📍 North America wholesale just posted a 5% revenue uptick last quarter — the core market is quietly stabilizing while everyone stares at China headlines 📍 China is ugly, no question. Six straight quarters of declining revenue. But it’s already priced in at these levels. 📍 The 2026 FIFA World Cup hasn’t even kicked off yet — and Nike’s marketing machine historically goes into overdrive during global soccer events 📍 Wall Street consensus still sits at Moderate Buy with a mean price target around $72 — that’s 60%+ upside from where shares are trading today 📍 While you wait? $NKE is paying you a 3.74% dividend yield to be patient Here’s what most people miss. Nike doesn’t need a miracle. It just needs to stop surprising to the downside. Truist Securities made this point directly after earnings — expectations have been reset so low that simply meeting the bar could re-rate this stock fast. Fall 2026 analyst day is being called a “clean slate” moment by the same analysts still holding Buy ratings. The turnaround is messy. Margins are compressed. China is a headwind. All true. But the brand is still Nike. The swoosh still means something globally. And at these prices, you’re not paying for perfection — you’re paying for survival and a slow grind back. The investing angle nobody’s talking about 👇 $NKE — the contrarian core. Beaten down, oversold, dividend-paying, and sitting on a FIFA World Cup catalyst most analysts aren’t modeling aggressively enough $ADDYY — Adidas is the obvious comp and has been quietly gaining shelf space while Nike resets. Watch how their World Cup momentum affects Nike’s urgency to respond $LULU — another premium athletic brand navigating its own post-hype reset. If Lululemon finds its footing, it signals the broader premium athletic consumer isn’t dead — just selective $SKX — Skechers has been taking market share in the value athletic space during Nike’s stumble. A Nike recovery narrative actually pressures Skechers more than it helps them The real question isn’t whether Nike survives. It’s whether you have the patience to hold through the noise before the narrative flips. Do YOU think $NKE is a falling knife — or a generational buying opportunity hiding in plain sight?

New satisfying: Sen. Capito (spouse) just disclosed buys in \$PNC and \$AXP from mid-March. Filed Apr 4, nearly 30 days later. Following her disclosed trades on AlphaBazaar shows +19% avg return and 67% win rate. What does she know that we dont?

@strikescan Interesting timing on \$CEG. Despite the bearish candle, 12 analysts have it overweight with an avg target of \$377. Two just reiterated this week. Price dip vs analyst conviction gap worth watching.

Weekly bearish engulfing candles just printed on some big names: $CEG Constellation Energy -10% $BKR Baker Hughes -5.4% $TMUS T-Mobile -4.8% $VST Vistra -3.7% $WMB Williams Companies -2.9% $VZ Verizon -2.8% Last week was green. This week's candle swallowed it whole. $CEG has had 11 bearish engulfing candles in its history. 72% of the time the following week was also red, averaging -3.2%. Worth watching.

@Valuemaverick @theadrianteh @FirstSquawk Fair pushback. We weight analysts alongside congressional filings and whale activity. When all three converge on a name, the track record is hard to dismiss.

@_alphabazaar @theadrianteh @FirstSquawk Analysts don’t mean anything any more, most are cucks.

@SethMagaziner Real-time disclosure would be a strong first step. The data shows a massive gap between members who file in 2 days vs the 45-day max. Transparency alone would change behavior.

Washington is different. It’s harder to get things done, which I knew going in. I have a new great team and we’re working hard to deliver funding to RI, stand up to extremism, and push ambitious bills like vacation days for all workers and a congressional stock trading ban 15/

I recently wade able to catch up with some @ritreasury colleagues, and it got me thinking about some of the truly remarkable things our team accomplished in the 8 years I was there. 1/

@T619414 @SenatorSlotkin STOCK Act made it illegal in 2012, but the penalty is just \$200 per late filing. And members get up to 45 days to disclose. The real edge is tracking what they file and how fast they file it.

@SenatorSlotkin Congressional members insider trading is illegal but they get to be multi millionaires within a few years in serving on a salary in the 6 figure range per year. Explain that please.

Giving anyone the ability to wager and make money if U.S. service members are rescued or not is sick and twisted. We need to ban these prediction market companies from hosting "markets" like this to begin with, and we need to ban any politician or government official from insider trading.

@ArunBuildsAI Multiple senators filing today. Capito also disclosed buys in \$PNC and \$AXP from mid-March. When filings cluster on the same day, it usually signals the disclosure deadline is approaching, not coordinated moves.

@brentdsummers Exactly right. The tightest filing windows tend to cluster around high-conviction positions. When a member files in 2 days vs the 45-day max, the data shows those trades outperform on average.

@_alphabazaar Exactly. A 2-day filing gap speaks way louder than a 40-day delay. It's the ultimate high-conviction signal.
