<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Farmers & Merchants Bancorp Board Authorized Repurchase Of Up To 650,000 shares Of Its Outstanding Common Stock; From January 16, 2024 To December 31, 2024

Wednesday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Farmers &amp; Merchants (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMAO#NASDAQ">FMAO</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Tuesday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 22 cents per share. On Thursday, Farmers &amp; Merchants will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 22 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Thursday. Shareholders who own FMAO as of the end of Wednesday's session are eligible to receive the 22 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on January 20, 2024. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
