The world of investing can be tricky to navigate, with so many companies to choose from and so much data to sift through. This is why many investors opt to use 13F filings to guide their investment decisions. These filings are submitted by hedge funds and other large institutional investors to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) quarterly, revealing their holdings in various publicly traded companies.
One such fund is the Monetta Financial Services Inc, which recently submitted their 13F filings for Q3 2022 and Q4 2022. In this article, we will compare their holdings for these two quarters and examine the changes they made.
The Monetta Financial Services fund had holdings in a total of 42 companies in Q3 2022, with a total value of $56,870,000. In Q4 2022, they reduced their holdings to 35 companies, with a total value of $50,992,000. This reduction amounts to a decrease of approximately 10 percent.
One of the most significant changes in their holdings was the decrease in their investment in Amazon.com Inc (AMZN). In Q3 2022, Monetta Financial held 54,000 shares of the company, with a value of $6,102,000. However, in Q4 2022, they reduced their holdings to 51,500 shares, with a value of $4,326,000.
