Why do politicians keep making stock trades that catch the market’s attention and should everyday investors be following them?
Jackson Woods, co-founder of Altoneer, joins Alex Richardson to unpack how congressional stock trading actually works, how public disclosures are tracked, and why those trades continue to raise questions around transparency and potential conflicts of interest.
They explore notable trades involving Nancy Pelosi and other members of Congress, the 45-day disclosure window, committee assignments, late filing penalties, and the challenges investors face when trying to follow political trades after they become public.
The conversation also dives into prediction markets, concerns around access to non-public information, proposals to ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks, and whether stronger disclosure rules could change the system.
Jackson also explains how Trade with Congress monitors political trading activity and what investors should consider before treating congressional trades as an investment signal.
