Return: buys marked to the latest close (open); sells tagged rt are realized round-trips vs a prior disclosed buy; exit = timing (stock move after the sale, seller's perspective).

Every FDL trade is marked to the latest close in the Return column; sells matched to a prior buy show a realized round-trip return.
Yes. Under the 2012 STOCK Act, members of Congress may buy and sell individual stocks but must publicly disclose each transaction within 45 days. Bargo surfaces those filings so you can see who traded FDL and how it performed.
