Diamond Hill on Civitas Resources $CIVI US

Thesis: Civitas Resources’ low-cost drilling operations and strategic acquisitions make it an undervalued energy play with solid cash-generation potential.

I built a bot which buys stocks that are being bought by politicians.

It has been beating the market.

Some of the trades it mimics are very suspicious.

Here are a few of them:

LOCKHEED MARTIN, $LMT

On October 17th of 2022, the strategy entered a position in Lockheed Martin.

This came after purchases of up to $115K of Lockheed stock by Representative Scott Franklin.

The day after the strategy entered this position, Lockheed announced better-than-expected quarterly revenue due to increased demand for its F-35 fighter jets.

Representative Scott Franklin sits on the House Committee on Appropriations, which oversees government expenditures.

Lockheed rose over 18% in the following two months.

ARTIVION, $AORT

On November 27th, the strategy entered a position in Artivion.

This came after purchases of up to $200K of Artivion stock by Senator Tina Smith.

Artivion is a small medical device company. Smith sits on the Senate Committee on Health.

The stock rose 25% within two weeks of the trade.

It has now risen 87% since the trade was made.

NGL ENERGY, $NGL

On April 10th, the strategy entered a position in NGL Energy.

This move was made as a result of Representative Mark Green’s March 24th purchase of up to $250K of NGL stock, which was disclosed on April 1st.

NGL rose 75% over the next 6 months.

We estimate that Representative Green made more money off of his NGL trading than he did from his congressional salary in 2023.

FINAL THOUGHTS

It’s worth noting that despite the performance of the Congress Buys Strategy, it may still be held back by weak disclosure regulations.

Members of Congress are given 45 days to disclose transactions, but the penalty for late disclosures is a mere $200.

Until Congress does manage to do a better job regulating itself, you can check out Quiver to see their most recent trades and track the strategy.

Even if you could read market news before it is published, you may still lose money. Ex LTCM co-founder, Victor Haghani held an experiment showing past important articles to traders who could bet based on this info. Most actually lost money!

"Almost entirely accounted for by ... Chinese equities"

Which means almost everything else lost money

NAV gained 5.8% LTM but lost -7.1% in 12 months before
FTSE All-Share up ~13% in each period

Odd kind of defensive, this https://t.co/x5SOhoZxzT
