Est. gain/loss and Est. return are estimates — politicians only disclose dollar ranges, not exact share counts, so the numbers are directional, not exact. Skill ranks them by dollar gains weighted by how much they traded (so big wins at scale beat small lucky bets). Not investment advice — every number here comes from public government filings.
