Did Marjorie Taylor Greene Beat the Stock Market?
Politician Stock Tracker
Did Marjorie Taylor Greene beat the stock market? On the stock purchases she has disclosed since January 2021, our answer is yes—at least in this window. Those buys returned about 72%. Buying the S&P 500 with the same money on the same days returned about 44% (about 1.6× the benchmark). That is a narrow lens on STOCK Act disclosures—not her entire wealth.
The short answer
| Question | What our data shows |
|---|---|
| Did disclosed buys beat the S&P 500? | Yes — about 72% vs 44% |
| How many buys? | 430 purchases we could price since January 2021 |
| Did she pick great days to trade? | Below a coin flip — about 46% vs a 50% luck baseline |
Beating the market on what she bought and beating it on when she traded are different questions.
How we compare her to the market
Imagine this: every time Greene disclosed a stock purchase, you bought the same amount of the S&P 500 (through SPY, a fund that tracks the index) on that same day. Then you compare the two paths.
- Greene's disclosed buys: about 72%
- S&P 500 on the same dates: about 44%
Her most-disclosed names include AMZN, AMD, AAPL, UPS, NSRGY. This is one of the larger priced-buy samples among House members in our dataset.
Limits to keep in mind: disclosure forms report dollar ranges, not exact share counts. This measure covers disclosed stock purchases only—not every asset class. Full details live on her Marjorie Taylor Greene stock tracker page.
Timing is a separate question
Some people hear "beat the market" and mean "she knew the perfect day to buy." That is trade timing—and we measure it separately.
50% is roughly what random luck looks like. Greene's overall score sits around 46%:
| Measure | Score | vs 50% luck |
|---|---|---|
| Overall | 46% | -4 points |
| Buys | 46% | -4 points |
| Sells | 46% | -4 points |
With high confidence and 481 scored trades across 109 stocks, treat this as no timing superpower—and possibly worse than random.
