| Median difference vs SPY | -10.5% | — |
| Purchases that beat SPY | 5 of 14 (36%) | — |

Most frequent buyers: Kevin Hern (11), Josh Gottheimer (1), Rob Bresnahan (1), Tommy Tuberville (1).
These are not returns anyone actually earned.

Purchases from the last 12 months are excluded because their window has not closed yet.
