STOCK Act disclosures reveal House Rep Michael McCaul purchased $SCHW in two blocks, both in the amount of $50,000-100,000 on April 21, 2023 with an average entry price of $53.80. Today, the stock is at $54.28. There’s evidence he also encouraged family members to do the same.
The thesis is that politicians have access to non-public, material information and/or are able to engage the services of top-tier equity fund managers. There is no federal law restricting the trades of congressmen. Conflicts of interest do not currently apply.
Be aware this is just a theory. Transaction reporting is often delayed by 45 days (or more). Market headwinds can take this another direction.
I will post more updates as I receive them. Originally, I called this out following the $52.25 break. That was re-tested and it popped this AM. Based on technicals, this can run to $56 (and possibly $60) if it breaks $54.50. Be cautious and watch for good entries.

Also evidence whales buying in on or about 5/22 and 5/31:

Where did this part come from?
Please see the attached disclosure schedule. If you look in the leftmost column, there are three codes: JT for spouse, DC for dependent child, and SP for spouse.8219522.pdf (209.733 KB)

Combing through the purchases and sales, that’s a Spouse purchase 15-50k

Interesting, thank you for this.
There’s a mix of sales and purchases there. I’ll have to comb through line by line and net it out. Rather than relying on capital trades, I suppose
Looks like Rick Allen’s (R-GA) Spouse also picked up between 15-50k of SCHW at an average price of 24.66. I may have to put together a corruption portfolio since these are longer term plays

SCHW hasn’t been below 40?
His spouse bought preferred stock, so probably that caused an API error for the secondary source:
I’ll have to check the primary sources on these. Here’s the original filing:20022986.pdf (69.003 KB)
$SCHW just hit $56. Hopefully some of you got a slice of the action
