About this page

WallStPal explains public SEC filings and congressional stock trade reports in plain English. Nothing is for sale; the site is free and supported by ads.

How to read it

Form 4
The form a company insider (officer, director or owner of more than 10%) must file with the SEC within two business days of buying or selling the company's shares.
13F
A quarterly list of U.S. stocks held by an investment manager with more than $100 million, filed within 45 days after each quarter ends.
STOCK Act
A 2012 law that requires members of Congress to report stock trades by themselves, a spouse or a dependent child within 45 days.

A real example

In January 2016, when bank stocks were falling, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon bought 500,000 JPMorgan shares with his own money, worth about $26 million. His Form 4 made the purchase public within days, and investors read it as a strong sign of confidence.

Explain it like I'm 13

We read the long, boring forms that grown-ups file with the government and tell you what they say in normal words.

Legal note on Congress data

Under the Ethics in Government Act (5 U.S.C. 13107), information from congressional financial disclosure reports may not be used for any unlawful purpose, for any commercial purpose other than by news and communications media for dissemination to the general public, for determining or establishing anyone's credit rating, or for soliciting money for any political, charitable or other purpose. By downloading the Congress file you agree to use it only in ways the law allows.

Examples

Academic research on insider trading has long relied on Form 4 data. H. Nejat Seyhun's 1998 book Investment Intelligence from Insider Trading studied decades of insider purchases and sales. With these files a student can test a similar question in an afternoon, for example whether purchases with a high WallStPal Score did better than low ones.

Explain it like I'm 13

We collect the public notes that company bosses and big investors have to file, tidy them up, and put them in a spreadsheet anyone can open. You can use it for a school project, as long as you say where it came from.
