Congressional trading in DOW

From time to time, Dow Inc. shows up in the stock transactions members of Congress disclose under the STOCK Act. On its own that's just data — Yield Theory's job is to tell you whether it means anything.

We track these disclosures and read them as one input into the bigger picture: who is positioning, why, and what it implies for capital flows. See the congressional trades tracker for the lawmakers whose filings we watch most closely.
