Marjorie Taylor Greene Insider Trading Claims: What Her Stock Trades Show

Politician Stock Tracker

Marjorie Taylor Greene insider trading claims follow her high profile and heavy disclosure volume. We do not claim she broke the law. Public STOCK Act data shows something nuanced: her disclosed buys beat the S&P 500—but her trade timing scores sit below a coin flip.

The short answer

Question What our data shows
Did her reported buys beat the market? Yes. About 72% vs about 44% for the S&P 500 on the same dates (1.6×)
Did she pick unusually good days to trade? No. About 46% overall (50% is pure luck)

Greene looks like a productive stock picker on disclosed buys—not someone with a clear edge on which day she traded.

Did her buys beat the market?

Here's how we measure it. We take the stock purchases Greene disclosed, estimate how those buys did, and compare that to buying the S&P 500 (via SPY, a fund that tracks the index) with the same money on the same days.

On 430 purchases we could price since January 2021, Greene's disclosed buys returned about 72%. The matched S&P 500 path returned about 44%. That is a wide win—about 1.6× the benchmark.

Stocks she discloses often include AMZN, AMD, AAPL, UPS, and NSRGY (Nestlé). That mix points to which stocks she reported buying over a volatile period—not proof of non-public information.

This is disclosed purchases only—and one of the larger buy samples among House members in our dataset.

Did she time the market?

"Timing" asks: when Greene bought or sold a stock, was that a better day than a random day for that same stock?

Think of 50% as a coin flip.

Measure Score vs 50% luck
Overall 46% −4 points
Buys 46% −4 points
Sells 46% −4 points
  • We scored 481 trades across 109 stocks (high confidence).

46% is modestly below what luck alone would predict. With this sample size, that matters: her trade dates do not look unusually well chosen—even though her buy returns beat the S&P 500.

Putting both together

  • Market returns on buys: clearly ahead of the S&P 500.
  • Trade timing: slightly worse than random.

That is similar to the Pelosi pattern on returns—strong stock picks over time—but weaker on timing. Headlines about insider trading usually imply perfect timing; these scores do not support that, while still showing market-beating buy returns.

Neither number proves or disproves wrongdoing. They show where public data points.
