How Congress has done in MSFT
Every purchase of MSFT 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 | MSFT | SPY |
|---|---|---|
| Median 12-month return after purchase | +8.5% | +19.8% |
| Median difference vs SPY | -4.3% | — |
| Purchases that beat SPY | 34 of 85 (40%) | — |
| Members who bought | 26 | — |
Most frequent buyers: Josh Gottheimer (16), Cleo Fields (10), Marjorie Taylor Greene (7), Pete Sessions (6), John Boozman (5).
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. 13 of the 85 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.
