What the filings show
A Massachusetts Democrat whose disclosed trading features frequent purchases and sales of individual stocks
Keating frequently buys and sells individual company shares, with trading spread to a moderate degree across names. The disclosed activity includes neither funds nor options. Almost all of the trades are filed in his own name.
What to watch
- Filings have arrived promptly; any shift toward longer delays would make the trading record less timely.
- The trades are spread across names. Repeated activity in the same companies would be a change worth tracking.
- Activity is filed almost entirely in Keating's own name; spouse or joint-account trades would change that ownership mix.
