The reports are scanned or e-filed PDFs; Tracked Money reads each row's asset, type, trade date and amount range, and matches company names to ticker symbols. Rows it cannot match (bonds, funds, unmatched names) are kept with the name as filed. The filing date is the day OGE posted the report, the first day anyone could read it.
