Sen. Max Baucus Reports Stock Trades From Five Months Ago
A U.S. Senator has just filed a disclosure report of financial transactions that took place five months ago.

Members of Congress are required to report financial transactions within 30 to 45 days after they have received notice of a purchase, sale, or exchange which exceeds $1,000 in stocks, bonds, commodity futures, and other forms of securities.
The periodic disclosure of financial transactions is required by the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act. Sen. Baucus sits on the Senate Finance Committee and the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. The July and August trades involved HSBC ADR, US Bancorp, Boeing Company, Union Pacific Corporation, United Parcel Service, Chevron Corporation, National Oilwell Varco, BHP Billiton Ltd., Montana State Energy Conservation Bond, Baxter International, and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, among others.
