The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Square (SQ)

When the rates on the 10-year treasury fall, the traditional financials do poorly but fintech companies like Square (SQ) and PayPal (PYPL) excel. This week was no different with Square locking in a +11.15% weekly gain to earn itself the Week’s Biggest Winner spot.

Disney (DIS)

With the treacherous rise of the delta Covid-19 variant, reopening plays that depend on big audiences, like Disney (DIS), took it on the chin. DIS dipped -1.77% this week, a pretty negligible drop, but still enough to earn itself the spot of the Week’s Biggest Loser.

This Week’s Moves

Square (SQ): Profit-Taking

Friday was once again profit-taking time for Square (SQ) as it started to test an upper-trend line of resistance. A sell order filled at $261.85, locking in +32.11% in gains on shares I bought a little over two months ago for $198.20 on May 13. 

The sale also “lowered” my per-share cost -10.95% from -$133.90 to -$148.56, meaning each share adds $148.56 in profits to the portfolio’s bottom line. From here, my next sell target is near Square’s all-time high of $283.19 and my next buy target is $193.25, near a past point of support.

SQ closed the week at $264.00, up +0.82% from where I sold on Friday.
