Performance before prominence.

The preview starts with currently seated members whose mature stock purchases show positive Quiver-reported excess performance over the trailing two years.

What makes the feed different

Disclosure volume alone is not a useful investing signal. TickerBeacon applies one stable qualification gate before a member’s purchases enter the primary feed.

active seat ∩ stock purchase ∩ 24-month window ∩ age ≥ 90 days ∩ n ≥ 5 ∩ mean excess > 0 ∩ positive share ≥ 50%

Timing remains visible

A trade date describes when the transaction reportedly occurred. A filing date describes when it was disclosed. We keep both because a delayed disclosure cannot be treated as a contemporaneous signal.

No invented return model

During this preview, qualification uses Quiver’s aggregate excess-return field. TickerBeacon does not reconstruct prices or silently substitute a proprietary model.

Research limitation: historical performance does not establish causality or predict future returns. Reporting ranges, delays, amendments, and data-provider methodology all affect interpretation.
