Self Employed Investments and the 2008 FEC election cycle

$116,120 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the occupation grouping Self Employed Investments. FEC.gov aggregates count 51 contributions from 2 donors. The same three-word string totals $4,680,701 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 2.5% of the lifetime bucket. Self Employed Investments is a real occupation or employer phrase on the form — independent investing work — meeting a two-year FEC window, not a securities NAICS total and not an asset-manager PAC.

Two donor identities under a three-word investing label

LobbyVault stores employer and occupation groupings on one axis and election cycles on the other. Rows that match both keys — Self Employed Investments and 2008 — sum to $116,120. Fifty-one itemized contributions and 2 unique donors produced that cell. The figure is not a fund’s disbursement, does not name recipient committees, and is not an independent-expenditure total. Committee transfers live in other FEC tables. The join exists because two public dimensions overlapped on a stored string and an even-year tag.

Neither the Self Employed Investments hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Exact Self, used alone, is a placeholder this extract does not treat as a profession. Self Employed Investments is longer form text that names independent investing work. INVESTOR, INVESTMENTS, SELF EMPLOYED without Investments, and named firms such as Fidelity Investments remain other buckets if filers typed those strings instead. This page is the three-word grouping only. The FEC does not verify assets under management, a broker license, or a holdings report from the occupation field.

2.5% of the Self Employed Investments roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $4,680,701. The 2008 slice of $116,120 is about 2.5% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 97.5%, or $4,564,581. Treating 2008 as the Self Employed Investments FEC story would ignore that remainder. A presidential cycle cell this small relative to the parent is still a six-figure join, and it is still a thin slice of the published book.

Treat $4,680,701 as the denominator for the 2.5% share. It is not portfolio value, not brokerage revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $4,680,701 and keeps the cycle hub from being mistaken for a single occupation’s book.

51 contributions from 2 donors

Dividing $116,120 by 51 contributions yields about $2,277 per itemized gift. Dividing by 2 donors yields $58,060 per donor. Contributions per donor average 25.5. Those means describe arithmetic on two identities. They are not medians, not a typical household check, and not a party split. A 25.5-line average says dense repeat itemization among a two-key roster, not an industry-wide giving program.

Two unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of traders, advisers, or fund employees. Household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count far faster than the donor count in this cell. The overlay for Self Employed Investments 2008 holds the disclosed rows. Opening only this tie would understate receipts that sit under INVESTOR or a named brokerage in the same window.

2008 as the cycle dimension

The 2008 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Self Employed Investments is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2008 election cycle to drop the occupation filter and Self Employed Investments to drop the year. All FEC ties lists neighboring two-dimension pages.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $116,120 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. A 2007 receipt and a November 2008 receipt can share the same join. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 51 contributions, the 2 unique donors, and the 2.5% share of $4,680,701.

An investing phrase is not a federal-award ledger

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $116,120. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an occupation string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into Treasury, SEC, or USAspending obligations. Campaign contributions are not federal awards. The page is not a securities NAICS total and not an asset-manager PAC.

Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 2 donors, and 51 contributions. SELF EMPLOYED without Investments, INVESTOR, INVESTMENTS, and named firm keys are siblings, not subsets, unless a receipt grouped here. This extract does not recode those strings into the three-word cell and does not import fund AUM.

Citing Self Employed Investments and 2008 together

Start with $116,120, then Self Employed Investments 2008 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2008 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Self Employed Investments, 2008, $116,120, 51 contributions, 2 donors, 2.5% of $4,680,701, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 2.5% share, the 2-donor count, and the $2,277 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a shorter Self key, a one-word Investor key, or a named brokerage and they stop being facts from this packet. Mean per donor of $58,060 is $116,120 divided by two IDs, not a typical invoice. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control.
