Question 1

What is HoldingsIntel?

HoldingsIntel translates SEC filings into clear smart-money signals for retail stock traders. We track what 547+ elite hedge funds, corporate insiders, activist investors, and members of Congress are buying right now, then surface the stocks where multiple signals converge. All data comes directly from SEC EDGAR and updates as soon as filings are processed.

Question 2

Is HoldingsIntel free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. HoldingsIntel offers a free tier with access to the latest quarter of data across all analytics. Pro ($19/month) unlocks 2 years of history, full data export, and advanced features. Pro Plus ($49/month) provides unlimited history.

Question 3

Where does the data come from?

Accepted Answer

All data comes from official SEC filings via EDGAR: 13F institutional holdings (quarterly), Form 4 insider trades (within 2 business days), Schedule 13D/13G activist filings, and STOCK Act congressional trade disclosures. Holdings data is verified at 100% accuracy against original 13F XML filings.

Question 4

How is HoldingsIntel different from WhaleWisdom?

Accepted Answer

HoldingsIntel focuses on analytical depth with 10+ proprietary analytics (Conviction Scoring, Double-Down Detection, Fund DNA, Smart Money Verdict) that no competitor offers. WhaleWisdom offers broader filer coverage (10,000+ vs 547+) and longer history (20+ years vs 11 years). HoldingsIntel starts at $19/month vs WhaleWisdom at $300-600/year.

Question 5

How can I track what hedge funds are buying?

Accepted Answer

Hedge funds and institutions managing $100M or more are required to disclose their US equity holdings quarterly through SEC 13F filings. HoldingsIntel processes these filings within hours of release, identifying new positions, position increases, exits, and conviction signals across 547+ tracked funds. The free tier shows the latest quarter; Pro unlocks 2 years of history.

Question 6

What does it mean when hedge funds are buying a stock?

Accepted Answer

Heavy institutional buying, especially across multiple high-conviction funds simultaneously, can signal that informed investors believe a stock is undervalued or has improving fundamentals. HoldingsIntel quantifies this with Conviction Scoring (0-100) measuring portfolio commitment, action intensity, and dollar magnitude. Forward-tested across 19,176,842 positions, top-conviction-band stocks have historically outperformed lower bands (65.4% win rate).

Question 7

Can I see what members of Congress are trading?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 2012 STOCK Act requires US Senators and Representatives to disclose stock trades within 45 days. HoldingsIntel tracks these disclosures across both chambers, including transaction dates, dollar amounts, and per-trade SPY benchmark returns. Each member has a profile showing their trading performance, win rate, and timing accuracy.
