Themes
Groups of public companies that share a business theme, and what the public record shows about them: insider trades, trades by members of Congress, federal contracts and lobbying. We publish who is in each theme and why. What to make of it is up to you.
16 curated themes covering 152 companies, most of them reviewed every March and September, plus 4 themes built by a fixed rule from our own data. How themes work

How themes work
- A theme is a group, not a direction. It lists companies with something in common. It does not say whether to buy, sell or avoid any of them, and it carries no weights.
- Published rules decide who is in. Curated themes state their membership rule and sort companies into tiers, such as pure-play or diversified. Changes happen at the March and September reviews and are logged on the theme's page.
- Some themes are pure rules. The themes built from our data, such as the stocks most bought by members of Congress, are recomputed from new filings, so nobody picks their members.
- Both sides, in the same type size. Each theme lists the case commonly made for it and the risks commonly cited against it.
A theme is a list of companies with something in common, chosen under a published rule. It is information, not a recommendation or investment advice. Activity figures come from public filings, each linked on the company's page; none of it predicts what a price will do. Disclaimer.
