The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser
Apple (AAPL)
Apple (AAPL) knocked it out of the park this week as investors look forward to its quarterly earnings report next week. Expectations are obviously high as AAPL locked in +9.38% in gains this week, earning itself the spot of the Week’s Biggest Winner.
IBM (IBM)
IBM (IBM) really is the gang who can’t shoot straight, once again missing on its quarterly earnings and diving -7.62% this week. Even with new management, this Titanic may prove too big to turn around, but it did lock in a spot as the Week’s Biggest Loser.

This Week’s Moves
Skyworks Solutions (SWKS): Profit-Taking
Skyworks Solutions (SWKS), the excellent semiconductor play on the 5G rollout, has been range-bound between its all-time high near $170 and a trading low around $140 for months now so when SWKS made a new all-time high on Wednesday at $168.95, I decided it was time to lock in some profits with an order that filled at $167.37.
The sale locked in +130.25% in gains on a few shares I bought during last March’s selloff on the 16th for $72.69. It also lowered my per-share cost for the position by -4.96% from $83.42 to $79.28.
From here, I have no additional sell targets for the moment, and my next buy target to add back in is now $141.20.
SWKS closed the week at $161.27, down -3.64% from where I sold Wednesday.
