What's New with Quiver: October 2023

Quiver gets a shoutout on the floor of the House of Representatives

Pressure to regulate congressional stock trading has been ramping up recently, as Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) proposed an anti-corruption bill that would ban active stock trading by members of Congress.

While Khanna was introducing this bill on the House floor, he gave a shoutout to Quiver Quantitative (along with UnusualWhales and CREW) for the work we’ve done in bringing more attention to Congress trading.

Khanna found an unlikely ally across the aisle in Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who has expressed support for Khanna’s bill. However, they both claim that they will have a hard time getting their colleagues on-board to support the bill.

You can follow us on Twitter for updates on the path to banning (or at least regulating) Congress Trading.

While congressional trading has been commanding lots of attention recently, we’ve also been working hard behind-the-scenes to bring new datasets and tools to our site. Here are some of the latest updates that we’ve recently added to our platform:

Track Corporate Employment Trends With Our New Hiring Dashboard

Through a partnership with PeopleDataLabs, we are excited to launch our Hiring Dashboard, which tracks employment trends across hundreds of publicly-traded companies.

With this data, you can find insights into which companies are growing and shrinking their workforce, broken down by job title and seniority level.

This data gives strong clues into a company’s performance and priorities, and can be used to augment almost any form of investment analysis.

The data is updated monthly, meaning you can often find market-moving insights before they are announced publicly via quarterly earnings calls. To check it out for yourself, click the link below:

Campaign Contributions Data

With our new campaign contributions data, we bring you another viewpoint on how different corporate interests are influencing the U.S. government.

Our dashboard tracks which corporate political action committees (PACs) are spending the most, and how that spending is broken down across different parties and politicians.

By clicking on any company, you can see a detailed breakdown of each of their spending instances, and you can also find breakdowns of the top donors to specific politicians or political committees.

We wrote code to source this data directly by scraping FEC disclosures, and our scripts automatically pull in the latest datapoints on a daily basis.

As the 2024 election cycle starts to heat up, we expect that this data will give good insights into how different companies believe that they impacted by candidates’ legislative agendas (as PACs are obviously looking for a good “ROI” on their political spending).

We will be publishing any interesting insights that we find on our Twitter, or click the link below to start diving into this dataset for yourself:
