The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Nike (NKE)

Nike (NKE) once again proves why it’s Best-of-Breed for consumer discretionary products, hitting an absolute grand slam during earnings and to leap +20.20% this week with the majority of that move taking place in a single day. NKE definitely locks in the podium placement of the Week’s Biggest Winner.

Amazon (AMZN)

With all of the attention given to Big Tech’s potential monopolies in their respective spaces, Amazon (AMZN) is considered one of the prime targets (pun intended). While a breakup could potentially bring out even more value, it’s negative news in the short-term with AMZN losing -2.45% this week to lock in the Biggest Loser space, narrowly edging out Logitech which was down -2.45

This Week’s Moves

HODLing Nike (NKE) with Diamond Hands…

Nike (NKE) once again demonstrated one of the most important tenets of investing for the long term this week – buy the stocks of quality companies and hold on to them. Period.

I first bought Nike on Valentine’s Day 2012 at $26.71. Back then, I had floundered a few times buying moonshot plays and decided that I’d just pick the stocks of quality companies whose stocks I believed would be higher in 30 years when I intended to retire.

That was it. There was nothing special to it. Even at the time, I felt Nike might have had its best days behind it being a company that had been around nearly 50 years at that point.

Boy, was I wrong.

Since then, Nike has demonstrated a consistent ability to destroy the competition, please the customer, and deliver to its shareholders. In the decade that followed, I pulled all of my original investment out of the stock along with $24.71 per share in profits, giving the position a current lifetime gain of 571.95% over my initial investment.

And, no, I don’t have any plans to go anywhere. Long-term investing might not be as exciting as day-trading, but, wow, are the returns there if you choose high-quality companies and, as the kids say, HODL with diamond hands.
