The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Nvidia (NVDA)

Following last week’s epic earnings report, Nvidia (NVDA) crashed through its all-time high this week, gaining +8.74% on the week and earning itself its second-in-a-row Week’s Biggest Winner title.

IDEXX Labs (IDXX)

After making a new all-time high, it was time for IDEXX Laboratories (IDXX) to pull back a bit this week, dropping a relatively minor -2.03%, but, in this up week, that was enough to land it as the Week’s Biggest Loser.

This Week’s Moves

Eyeing a new contender…

There may have been no moves this week for the Investments in Play portfolio, however, that doesn’t mean I wasn’t busy. I’ve been eyeing a new addition for the speculative basket – Roblox (RBLX).

If you have kids older than 8, you’re probably familiar with Roblox, but for those of you who aren’t – Roblox is the ultimate video gaming platform. In addition to hundreds (if not thousands) of different games made on the platform itself, users can make and sell their own games, too.

Additionally, Roblox has its own currency – a “cryptocurrency” of sorts – that gamers use to buy in-game items. The company IPO’ed earlier this year and I’ve been watching and waiting to see it develop some price action before jumping in. 

Well, that time is coming, so now I have to do that which I hate – wait for a good buying level. Given how September often brings with it a great deal of volatility, I’m betting my opportunity may be right around the corner…
