CONGRESS CONSENSUS · PUBLIC WEEKLY RESEARCH

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2026 · SIGNAL FREEZE: OCT 16

8 stocks selected. 1 added. 1 removed.

Our stock-selection model (called E2) reviews publicly disclosed stock trades by U.S. lawmakers. This week, it selected eight stocks: one was added, one was removed, and seven stayed from the previous week.

The portfolio is hypothetical and has a 0% cash target this week. Stock names and individual weights remain Premium-only.

How do we choose the stocks?

We check the filings. Lawmakers’ stock trades may be disclosed late, sometimes in scanned documents. We review the published sources before updating the model.

We look for agreement. A company qualifies only when at least two different U.S. lawmakers have reported buying its stock within the previous 60 days.

We apply the same rules each week. The hypothetical portfolio can include up to eight stocks. If fewer qualify, the unused portion stays in cash.

Which stocks were added or removed?

The Free Weekly explains the changes without naming the stocks. Premium reveals the eight selected stocks, which stock was added, which was removed, the model scores and the hypothetical portfolio allocations.

Follow the signal, not the politician.

HOW IT WORKS

Public disclosures. Systematic process.

01

Disclosures

Public congressional stock transactions become available to the model.

02

Consensus

Companies purchased by multiple lawmakers within the observation window are identified.

03

Ranking

Qualifying companies are ranked using the Congress Consensus scoring model.

04

Portfolio

The strongest signals form a concentrated model portfolio that is reassessed weekly.

WHY CONSENSUS?

The signal matters more than the politician

A single congressional purchase may be noise. Congress Consensus focuses on situations where several lawmakers independently reach the same investment decision.

The model also considers the historical quality of the lawmakers behind each signal, while applying conservative safeguards when the available track record is limited.

No private information. No prediction of individual lawmakers. Just systematic analysis of public disclosures.

POINT-IN-TIME BY DESIGN

Built to avoid hindsight

Congressional transactions often become public days or weeks after they occur. Congress Consensus only uses information after it has been publicly disclosed. The same rule applies to the historical evaluation of lawmakers.

KEY PRINCIPLE If the information was not public at the time, the model cannot use it.
