So, you want a title that is 5 lines long? It’s a fair criticism, but maybe it’s just too difficult to summarize in a title.

Something like "Congressional leadership 47% better at picking stocks than rank-and-file"

That would be good. I only said that his "lawmakers who later ascend to leadership positions perform similarly to matched peers beforehand but outperform them by 47 percentage points annually after ascension." is way too long. I guess other people disagreed because I got some downvotes.

What's the rule on titles now? I thought HN had a strict 'no editorializing headlines' policy, but I see the article has a different headline than what was posted here
