The Hill
Congress trades
Every disclosed trade from all 535 members - with the committee they sit on, the hearing that week, who actually placed it (spouse, kid, trust), and exactly how late the filing landed.

Money talks.
We publish the transcript.
Congress, corporate insiders, and big funds all have to disclose their trades. We read every filing, translate it into plain English, grade how much each matters, and track performance after disclosure - delay included.
Every trade comes from an official filing, and every card links to it. Analysis, not advice.
Three feeds · one tapeWatch what they file,
Watch what they file,
not what they say.
The people with an edge write the laws, run the companies, or move the money. We read all three feeds overnight and hand you the difference - what they did, not what the crowd is watching.
FORM 4
The BoardroomInsider filings
Executive buys and sells, de-noised. Scheduled 10b5-1 sales get benched; conviction buys get flagged. Every sale shows its stated reason - and when there isn’t one, we say so.

By law, a congressional trade can surface up to 45 days after it happened. Every tracker shows the return from the trade date. We also show the return from the day the filing went public - and what the delay cost. Sometimes the honest read is: the move already happened. We show that too.

What the desk does
One subscription. All the receipts.
Congress, on the record.
Every disclosed trade from all 535 members - the committee they sit on, who actually placed it (spouse, kid, trust), and exactly how late the paperwork ran.
Insiders, de-noised.
Executive buys and sells with the routine stuff benched. Scheduled 10b5-1 sales sit down; conviction buys get flagged. And when a sale shows no 10b5-1 plan, we say so.
The big money, quarterly.
Every fund over $100M opens its book four times a year. We keep the archive for the books worth following - who holds what, how each position moved, and the filing behind every line.
The honest math.
For every trade: the return from the trade date, the return from the day it went public, and the S&P over the same window. The disclosure delay, priced in - not papered over.
Signal Score.
How much a filing actually matters, 0-100: unusual size against their own history, committee overlap, cluster buying, filing speed. The feed sorts itself.
CAT Scan.
One number for any stock, 1 to 99: are insiders, tracked funds and Congress buying it on purpose, or selling? 50 means the filings say nothing either way.

Fair questions
Asked and answered.
What is Tickertail?
A financial analysis platform built on the trades politicians, corporate insiders, and major funds are legally required to disclose. We read the filings, translate them into plain English, and analyze what happened next. No tips, no recommendations - the decisions stay yours.
Wait - politicians have to publish their trades?
Yes. The STOCK Act (2012) makes members of Congress disclose any stock trade over $1,000 within 45 days. Executives have filed theirs since 1934. Funds over $100M open their books every quarter. It's all public record - most people just never read it.
Is this legal?
Completely. Insider trading is trading on secrets. This is the opposite: reading documents the law forces into the open. Every number comes from an official source, and every card links to the original filing.
Filings can run 45 days late. Why bother?
Because the delay is measurable - so we measure it. Every return we show has the lag priced in. Some trades still matter weeks later: clusters, conviction buys, committee overlaps. Some don't. We tell you which is which.
How do you use AI?
As a reading machine. AI drafts the plain-English summaries of filings; every number is computed by regular code, straight from the source. AI-drafted takes are labeled as AI-written until an editor approves them. And because AI can still hallucinate a detail, every summary links to its original filing. When in doubt, trust the filing.
