How Congress has done in GOOGL
Every purchase of GOOGL disclosed by a member of Congress in the last 5 years, scored over the 12 months after the trade date against SPY over the same window.
| Measure | GOOGL | SPY |
|---|---|---|
| Median 12-month return after purchase | +52.2% | +24.2% |
| Median difference vs SPY | +35.1% | — |
| Purchases that beat SPY | 13 of 19 (68%) | — |
| Members who bought | 12 | — |
Most frequent buyers: John Boozman (3), Shelley Moore Capito (3), Daniel Goldman (2), Lisa McClain (2), Markwayne Mullin (2).
These are not returns anyone actually earned. Disclosures report a dollar bracket and no share count, so every purchase is counted once and weighted equally, and sales are not matched back to the buys that opened them. 7 of the 19 purchases are disclosed as a spouse's or dependent's rather than the member's own. Purchases from the last 12 months are excluded because their window has not closed yet.
