What the STOCK Act Requires
The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act (2012) mandates that House and Senate members, their spouses, and dependent children report securities transactions over $1,000 within 45 days of execution. The filing is called a Periodic Transaction Report (PTR).
Key limitations:
- 45-day lag. By the time a PTR is public, the trade is already up to 6 weeks old.
- Range, not exact amount. PTRs disclose a dollar range ($1,001–$15,000; $15,001–$50,000; $50,001–$100,000; $100,001–$250,000; $250,001–$500,000; $500,001–$1,000,000; over $1M) — not the precise amount.
- Not real-time. Some filings are submitted late and reported with a penalty.
- Spouse trades included. Many Pelosi trades on social media are from her husband Paul Pelosi’s account, filed under her disclosure obligation.

How to Read a Periodic Transaction Report
Each PTR line contains: filer name, asset name (stock ticker or description), transaction type (Purchase/Sale), transaction date, amount range, and filing date. The gap between transaction date and filing date tells you how quickly the member disclosed.
Third-party aggregators (Quiver Quantitative, Capitol Trades, Unusual Whales) pull from official PTR data and display it in a more searchable format — but the primary source is always the House or Senate clerk official database.

FAQ
Does Nancy Pelosi personally trade stocks?
PTRs are filed under the member’s name but cover the household — including spouses. Many widely-shared “Pelosi trades” originate from filings related to her husband Paul Pelosi’s portfolio. The filing is hers legally; the trades may be his.
Is trading on congressional knowledge illegal?
Yes, under the STOCK Act. However, enforcement is limited and the standard for proving insider knowledge is high. The disclosure requirement is the primary enforcement mechanism.
Where is the most reliable source for congressional stock trades?
The official House Clerk disclosure portal (disclosures-clerk.house.gov) and Senate disclosure portal are the primary sources. Third-party tools aggregate and simplify the data but derive from these official filings.
