Year-to-Date Performance

The Speculative Basket

The Speculative Basket is made up of nine (9) positions that cumulatively share two target allocations. While I have more faith in these positions than those in my Speculation in Play portfolio (why they’re in this portfolio), I don’t want a full allocation to any of them.

The current basket members are: Amazon (AMZN), Berkshire-Hathaway (BRK.B), Coinbase (COIN), Dutch Bros (BROS), IBM (IBM), Roblox (RBLX), Salesforce (CRM), Take Two Interactive (TTWO), and Twilio (TWLO).

This Week’s Moves

Apple (AAPL): Added to Position

It was time to add to Apple (AAPL) during the tech selloff on Monday with a buy order that filled at $139.18. The buy raised my per-share “cost” +$5.15 from -$39.20 to -$34.05 (a negative per-share cost means each share adds $34.05 to the portfolio in addition to the value of the share). From here, my next buy target is $131.70 and my next sell target is around $180.

AAPL closed the week at $142.90, up +2.67% from where I added Monday.

IDEXX Laboratories (IDXX): Added to Position

The selloff swoon in IDEXX Laboratories (IDXX) continued this week with the stock triggering a buy order on Monday at $610.57. The order replaced some more of the shares I sold on July 28 at $691.11, locking in a -11.65% discount and raising my per-share “cost” from -$99.89 to -$85.40 (a negative per-share cost means each share adds $85.40 to the portfolio in addition to the value of the share).

From here, my next buy target is $546.90 and my first sell target is much higher around $1,050 to $1,100 where IDXX will have exceeded the target allocation for a portfolio position.

IDXX closed the week at $617.02, up +1.05% from where I added Monday.

Roblox (RBLX): Added to Position

On Tuesday, despite the rest of the market bouncing from Monday’s selloff, Roblox (RBLX) sold off, triggering a buy order which filled at $73.60. Then, on Friday, RBLX continued selling off which triggered a second buy at $71.40.

The combination of both buys gave me an average buying price of $72.50, and lowered my per-share cost -2.34% from $77.00 down to $75.20. From here, my next buy price target is $64.35, above a previous point of support, and I do not have any sell targets as this position is less than two weeks old, naturally.

RBLX closed the week at $70.43, down -2.86% from my average buy price.

Skyworks Solutions (SWKS): Added to Position

The semiconductor sector continued to sell off early in the week with Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) triggering a buy order at $161.16 on Monday.

The order increased my per-share cost +4.26% from $82.39 to $85.90, however, that’s still a -24.38% reduction from my first buy on January 31, 2020 at $113.60. From here, my next buy target is $141.00 and my next sell target is about $290.

SWKS closed the week at $160.86, down -0.19% from where I added Monday.
