Thomas Kean Jr Rebalances His Portfolio, Adds a Bank, Video Games

Thomas Kean Jr., a member of the House of Representatives representing New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District, has been making some rebalancing trades in January. His largest trades looked more like a rollover, selling between $100K-250K of US Treasury Notes on January 15, 2023 and then buying new US Treasury Notes of $100K-250K on January 19, 2023. But more interestingly, he did make several other trades to note.

Throughout January his trades included selling between $15K-50K of Stryker Corp (SYK:US) on the 10th Jan and another $15K-50K on the 27th, with the same amounts and dates sold of S&P Global Inc (SPGI:US). He made additional sales of Markel Corp (MKL:US) on January 10 of $1K-15K, as well as $15K-50K of each Johnson & Johnson (JNJ:US) and Aon PLC (AON:US) on January 27.

He has, so far, made 2 other purchases in January. The first was a small purchase of $1K-15K of Take-Two Interactive (TTWO:US), a video game company, and a larger purchase of $15K-50K of the Bank of America Corp (BAC:US). He is in the green on both trades, but Bank of America has recently been downgraded by analysts Piper Sandler (Jan 17: Neutral to Underweight), Atlantic Equities (Jan 31: Overweight to Neutral) and Keefe Bruyette (Mkt Perform to Underweight). It will be interesting to see if the trend continues.
