What copying Cheri Bustos would have returned

$10,000 invested on 2016-06-30, buying and selling the same stocks 3 days after each filing became public, ended at $11,170 on 2026-11-09. The same money in the S&P 500 (SPY) ended at $38,469.

That headline is diluted by cash: on average only 16% of the money was invested, because the portfolio holds a few small positions. On the 2,603 days it did hold stocks, the copied holdings returned +0.9% a year against +13.8% for the S&P 500 over the same days: 12.9 percentage points behind the index.
