Donald Trump's latest financial disclosure has opened an unusually detailed window into the scale and pace of trading activity tied to the US president's investment portfolio.

The filing, submitted on Thursday to the US Office of Government Ethics through two OGE Form 278-T reports, disclosed more than 3,600 transactions executed between January and the end of March 2026.

1. You have a "c" in "yahoo" in your link which leads to a warning message

ie I think there is a "yachoo.com" site, but it doesn't support https. It works without the "c".

From the OP article, link repeated for convenience

According to the report, and assuming the holdings have remained relatively the same since the end of March, Trump is 20% or more in profit on almost all of the names indicated here and others.

In particular, Trump is over 100% in profit on AMD, Intel, Iridium Communications, Bloom Energy, Intuitive Machines, Marvell Technology, Penguin Solutions, SanDisk, Seagate, Vishay Intertechnology and other stocks.

Based on the dates of the transactions it is also apparent that Trump heavily bought the price dip in March caused by the start of the Iran war. The S&P 500 dropped over 8% and bottomed at the end of the month, subsequently rising around 19% to record highs.
