CapitolRadar analysis
7 tracked trades skewed toward sales
7 trades in iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF (IJR) were tracked from December 14, 2022 through August 19, 2026. The activity comprised 1 buy and 6 sells by 3 distinct traders. By transaction count, sells represented six of the seven disclosures, but this is a small sample and does not establish a broad or persistent trading pattern.
The six sales were spread across four quarters: 2 in 2022 Q4, 2 in 2024 Q1, 1 in 2024 Q3 and 1 in 2025 Q2. The sole purchase appeared in 2026 Q3. The uneven timeline matters: the seven trades were not concentrated in a single quarter, and the data supplied do not include transaction values that would allow the buy and sells to be compared by disclosed dollar size.
1 buyer accounted for the only purchase
John Boozman was the only identified buyer, with 1 IJR purchase, most recently on August 19, 2026. Because there was only one buyer and one buy, the purchasing sample is especially limited. The other two distinct traders in the overall count were not identified in the supplied facts, so no trader-level comparison of their selling frequency or timing is possible.
6 other securities appeared in the buyer’s activity
The IJR buyer also bought SPYM, FSLR, AVUV, OTIS, CVX and PYPL. Each overlap involved 1 of the IJR buyers—which, in this case, is the sole buyer. These co-purchases show that the disclosed buyer’s activity extended beyond IJR, but the supplied data do not provide dates, amounts or sequencing for those other transactions.
Congressional disclosures can be filed up to 45 days after a transaction, so reported activity may not be current when published. Disclosed amount ranges are estimates rather than exact transaction values. Together with the small seven-trade sample, those limitations constrain comparisons of timing, scale and direction.

CapitolRadar signal history
NEW PICK 2026-09-14
Sen. John Boozman disclosed buying $1,001–$15,000 of the IJR small-cap ETF. The panel passed mainly because he has no verified trading history against the S&P 500, so the buyer signal is unproven. A documented record of prior disclosed purchases outperforming SPY would have been the strongest evidence to change the verdict.
