Disclosure baskets
What happens to the companies that insiders, members of Congress and funds reported buying? Each basket holds them under a written rule, equal-weighted, and is measured against the S&P 500. A company enters only once its report is public, so these figures are what someone reading the filings could have followed, not what the buyers earned.

Common questions
What is a disclosure basket?
A basket of the companies that insiders, members of Congress or funds reported buying, held under a written rule, with equal weights, and measured against the S&P 500. It describes what a rule on public reports would have done.
Why does a company join the basket only after its report is public?
Because nobody could act on a purchase before it was reported. Each company joins the session after the report's date and the position is opened at that session's close, so the figures are what someone reading the filings could have followed, with no hindsight.
Does a basket show what Congress or a fund owns?
No. It follows reports of purchases, not holdings. A long-held position that was not traded recently does not appear, and reports arrive days or weeks after a trade (a 13F up to 45 days after the quarter ends).
Is this investment advice?
No. The baskets describe public filings and how the companies in them performed. Past results say nothing about the future, and the figures ignore trading costs and dividends.
How to read these baskets
- A basket is a rule, not a portfolio. It does not show what anyone owns, only what was reported as bought.
- Reports are late: a purchase by a member of Congress is filed days or weeks after the trade, a 13F up to 45 days after the quarter. A company joins the session after its report is public.
- Equal weights, rebalanced every session, no trading costs, no dividends. Past results say nothing about the future. This is information, not investment advice.
