How to Read the Amounts in This Deck and the Tool

OGE discloses each trade in a range, not an exact value.

OGE Form 278-T reports each trade as a range bucket (e.g. $250K-$500K), not an exact figure. Every dollar total in this deck and the tool is the sum of the midpoints of those buckets.

  • What this CAN tell you: general scale and direction of activity.
  • What this CANNOT tell you: the exact dollar value of any single trade, or a precise total in actual dollars.

Asset Class Mix - Before and After (By Count)

Almost all bonds for 9 months. The May '26 filing - 98% equities.

Aug 2025 - Apr 2026 (14 filings, 1,726 transactions):

  • Muni bonds 73%
  • Corp bonds 14%
  • Bank preferred 11%
  • Others 2%

Almost entirely fixed income.

May 14, 2026 (1 filing, 3,642 transactions):

  • Equities 98%
  • Others 2%

Almost entirely equities.

Asset Class Mix - By Dollar Values

Same story - May '26 predominantly equities. Muni bonds typically trade in larger lot sizes than equities, so dollar volume can run higher even with fewer transactions.

Aug 2025 - Apr 2026: ~$781M (63% of all volume)

  • Muni 67%
  • Corp 27%
  • Bank pref 2%
  • Others 4%

May 14, 2026: ~$454M (37% of all volume)

  • Equities 84%
  • Others (mostly ETFs) 16%

Note: Disclosure has range buckets. Values shown are midpoint sums - useful for general direction, not exact.

Position disclosure. I hold positions in some of the tickers mentioned in this deck.

Best effort, no guarantees. OGE Form 278-T filings are PDFs with thousands of rows. The data was extracted using LLM vision models and document parsers, cross-checked across methods, with about 50 rows reviewed manually. Errors are possible. Treat the numbers as estimates, not audited figures.

Dollar values are midpoint sums. OGE discloses each trade as a range bucket, not an exact figure. Every dollar total here is the sum of the midpoints of those buckets. Useful for direction and scale. Not exact.

Use at your own risk. I make no claim of accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any purpose. If you act on anything in this deck, that's on you, not me.
