The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Disney (DIS)

Disney (DIS) held its analyst meeting this week and what a meeting it was – the Disney+ streaming service is dominating, they plan to make tons of content, and analysts came away calling Disney (DIS) the next Netflix (NFLX). A +14.00% gain (plus its best day in March) makes Disney the Week’s Biggest Winner.

GW Pharmaceuticals (GWPH)

The cannabis sector got slapped this week, and, for some reason, GW Pharmaceuticals (GWPH) took it harder than others, getting slapped -12.41% and earning the spot as the Week’s Biggest Loser.

This Week’s Moves

Square (SQ): Profit-Taking

On Wednesday, Square (SQ) once again made an all-new high, triggering a sell order I had in place which filled at $214.49 to reduce the size of the position allocation in my portfolio. I’ve decided to let Square get bigger than the 7.14% target allocation, but my discipline requires maintaining the position size.

To be certain, I do believe Square to be a good long-term holding, however, I am skeptical that the potential of thousands (if not more) of small businesses declaring bankruptcy in the next six months won’t dramatically impact Square’s stock to the downside seeing as how they make up the majority of its business (despite the increasing popularity of the Cash app).

Wednesday’s sale locked in +1,832.34% in gains on some of the original shares I purchased back on August 5, 2016 for $11.10. My next sell target for the position is around $225.00 and my next buy target is $155.90.

SQ closed the week at $216.59, up +0.98% from where I sold.
