Francis Rooney’s stock disclosures — and why we can’t show the trades

Francis Rooney (House) has filed 48 disclosures under the STOCK Act, from Feb 17, 2017 to Feb 3, 2021. We hold every one of them, and 48 are a form we cannot machine-read.

What’s actually wrong

48 of those filings are image scans: a photograph of a paper form, with no text layer. Our parser reads the text layer, so for those there is nothing to read — no tickers, no amounts, no dates of trade. That is a limitation of our pipeline, not a fact about Francis Rooney’s trading, and we would rather say so than show you an empty table that looks like an answer.

It is also why Francis Rooney does not appear on our copy-return leaderboard. A member we cannot read cannot be backtested, and inventing a zero for them would rank them against people whose trades we actually have.

Every filing we hold

Newest first, with what our parser got from each. Every row links to the original document on the House Clerk’s site, so you can open it yourself.
