The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Boeing (BA)

With the first positive order book to cancellations since November 2019, Boeing (BA) took off this week (pun intended), flying +20.59% in a mixed week to land the Week’s Biggest Winner spot.

Skyworks Solutions (SWKS)

While -0.65% is not a big drop, Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) saw the biggest loss this week as the markets continue to slap technology around – specifically focusing on semiconductor plays. That -0.65% loss earns SWKS the spot of the Week’s Biggest Loser.

This Week’s Moves

Apple (AAPL): Added to Position

The Tech Wreck continued this week with Apple (AAPL) falling under significant pressure on Monday as it broke through Friday’s support, triggering a buy order I had in place which filled at $116.70. The order increases my per-share “cost” +9.81% from -$55.72 to -$50.25 as I increase my allocation (the negative cost indicates that the position cost no capital and, in fact, adds $50.25 per share to the portfolio’s bottom line).

From here, my next price target to add more is $105.33, slightly above a point of support back on September 21.

AAPL closed the week at $121.03, up +3.71% from where I added Monday.

IBM (IBM): Dividend Reinvestment

IBM (IBM) paid out its dividend on March 11, about $1.63 per share or an annual yield of around 5.10% at its closing price of $127.97. As always, I use Dividend Reinvestment Programs (DRiPs) whenever possible to take dividends as fractional shares rather than cash.

The dividend lowered my per-share cost -1.26% from $70.69 to $69.80. As far as dividends go, that’s a pretty substantial decrease. My next buy price is $107.00.

IBM closed the week at $127.61.

Skyworks Solution (SWKS): Dividend Reinvestment

Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) paid out its dividend on March 10, about $0.50 per share or an annual yield of around 1.17% at its closing price of $170.90. Just like with IBM (IBM) above, I use Dividend Reinvestment Programs (DRiPs) whenever possible to take dividends as fractional shares and increase my position size.

The dividend lowered my per-share cost -0.31% from $79.28 to $79.04. Not a huge move by any stretch, but all I did was hold the position so there’s no complaints from me. My next buy price target is $139.87.

SWKS closed the week at $172.31.

Take Two Interactive (TTWO): Added to Position

After the Tech Wreck knocked nearly -25% off Take Two Interactive’s (TTWO) price, crashing from its all-time high of $214.91 down to $161.33 on Monday, I decided it was time to put some money to work.

When the price stabilized on Wednesday, I bought half of the shares I sold for $177.39 on November 6 for $169.51 on Wednesday, locking in a -4.44% discount while still keeping powder dry in case TTWO heads lower. From here, my next price target to add more is $146.00

TTWO closed the week at $170.25, up +0.44% from where I added.
