Members of congress have an informational edge over the general public, and disclosure and filing rules make sure that their trades don’t have to be reported promptly. On top of that, the exact amounts being traded remain unknown — as reporting is done in ranges.It comes then, as little surprise, that legislators tend to outperform their constituents in terms of stock market returns by quite a fair margin. The issue has become much more publicized as of…
