This is why we track politicians' stock trades 🚨

One year ago, we flagged Rep. Brad Knott for buying CompoSecure

Why? Three reasons

\- Rep. Brad Knott is the only politician to buy $CompoSecure(CMPO.US)

\- At the time it only had a market cap of $1.5B

\- His brother Thomas Knott sits on the board

Today $CompoSecure(CMPO.US) popped 7% on the news that CompoSecure replaced old debt with new loans that are cheaper and last longer.

It's up 118% since we flagged it one year ago
