The "November Signal": Why Four Lawmakers Just Moved Money While the Market Was Sleeping

It was the week of Thanksgiving. The markets were lulling, volume was dropping, and most of America was focused on turkey and family.

But on Capitol Hill, the financial machinery didn’t stop.

Between November 22nd and November 29th, while the rest of the country took a breath, four specific members of the U.S. Congress—three Senators and one Representative—were quietly filing reports that disclosed 48 distinct securities transactions.

If you’ve followed my reports for any length of time, you know I don’t believe in coincidences. I believe in positioning.

When a member of the Senate Banking Committee or the Foreign Relations Committee makes a move, they aren't guessing. They are acting on an information diet that is vastly superior to the one you and I get from the evening news.

And this week? The signals are loud, specific, and frankly, a little surprising.

The Pennsylvania "Yield" Play

First, we have Senator David McCormick. His filing is what I call a "defensive fortress." While the retail public is chasing the latest AI bubble, McCormick’s household moved heavily into high-value Pennsylvania municipal bonds. We are talking about tax-free income with 5% coupons and maturities stretching out to 2048.

Why lock in money for that long? What does a sitting Senator see in the tax landscape or the stability of the dollar that makes a 25-year bond look like the smartest play in the room?

The Crypto Hedge

But here is where it gets interesting. In the very same filing, amidst all that conservative, safe municipal debt, Senator McCormick made a personal purchase that sits on the complete opposite end of the risk spectrum: Bitcoin.

He didn’t buy a lot. But he bought it. When a Senator pairs a 2048 Municipal Bond with a Bitcoin ETF, they are hedging against something specific. They are playing both sides of the currency coin.

The "Dependent" Tech Shuffle

Then we have Representative Jared Moskowitz. Or rather, his "dependent child." The report shows 30 rapid-fire trades involving the heavy hitters of the American economy—Goldman Sachs, Broadcom, and Taiwan Semiconductor.

This isn't just a portfolio rebalance. It is a sector rotation. They are selling off specific industrials and buying into the backbone of the hardware and financial sectors.

The Institutional Exit

Finally, we saw Senator Tina Smith’s spouse dump a massive position in a regional bank—Huntington Bancshares. When a member of the Senate Banking Committee sells a six-figure sum of a bank stock, you pay attention.

Below, I have compiled the full, raw data of every single trade. But the raw data is just noise without the signal.

In the full report available to subscribers, we break down the timing of McCormick’s bond purchases against current yield curves, and we analyze why the Moskowitz portfolio is betting big on hardware right now.

Here is what is waiting for you in this week’s dossier:
