Trades for Benjamin L. Cardin, newest filed first
Side	Ticker	The asset as filed, without the parts that repeat the row: a trailing “(TICKER)” that is the row's ticker, the stock code “[ST]” when it is the row's type (“Stocks (including ADRs)” in the House Clerk's list of asset type codes), and a trailing “Common Stock” or “Ordinary Shares”. Any other code is shown as its words from that list; a code not on it keeps its brackets. A name that differs from the filing in any other way is a button: its note gives the text as filed. The filing itself is the exact record. Filings under this member include transactions by spouse (SP), dependent children (DC), and joint accounts (JT) — the STOCK Act does not distinguish who directed a trade.

Profile

Tick = median of the 69 Senate members with disclosed rows in this build, one value per member, so a high-volume filer does not become the chamber. Describes the filing record, not intent.

median days between trade date and filing date, over rows that disclose both: +73dslower than chamber — median +28d
machine-readable transaction rows per distinct source filing: 3.0above median — median 3.0
rows whose disclosed bracket tops out at $15,000: 47%larger lots — median 59%
purchases as a share of all disclosed rows — a count of disclosures, not of dollars: 33%below median — median 49%
rows with no spouse (SP), dependent-child (DC) or joint (JT) owner code — a row whose owner is not stated counts here too, so this is not a share of self-owned holdings: 40%fewer SP/DC/JT rows — median 27%
