Keeping track of politicians’ stock investments can provide valuable insights into which industries may receive favorable policy treatment from the government in the future. By examining the committees these politicians sit on and the policy matters they are dealing with, investors can gain a better understanding of what’s to come for certain sectors.
The STOCK Act requires politicians to report their trades within 45 days of making them. These disclosures are then made public, ensuring transparency in the process. Recent filings have revealed some notable purchases by Trump’s fellow Republican, Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Greene bought stocks on April 3rd and 4th, two days when the S&P lost over 10% of its value. Some of these stocks have since recovered from their lows, indicating that Ms. Greene was able to buy companies that rebounded quickly despite broader market struggles.
Notable Tech Stocks Purchased
To identify tech stocks purchased by Ms. Greene amid the market rout, we analyzed her recent filings on April 7th and 11th. We then ranked these companies based on the number of hedge fund holders holding their stock in portfolios.
Hedge funds are significant because research shows that imitating top picks chosen by best-performing hedge funds each quarter can beat the S&P 500 index. Our quarterly newsletter selects fourteen small-cap and large-cap shares every quarter; since May 2014, it has returned a remarkable 373% while beating benchmark returns by an impressive 188 percentage points.
