The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Dutch Bros (BROS)

The quiet period on analyst coverage following Dutch Bros (BROS) initial public offering ended this and the results are in – analysts absolutely *LOVE* Dutch Bros and its potential growth prospects. The reviews were so stellar that BROS brewed up a +24.34% gain, earning the spot of the Week’s Biggest Winner.

Boeing (BA)

Good god, Boeing (BA)! Can you not get out of your own way for at least a few days?! Boeing (BA) came out with more bad news this week – apparently, some of the parts on their three-year-old 787 Dreamliner (not the 737 Max) had been improperly manufactured. In a week where almost everything saw gains, BA dropped -4.13% to become the Week’s Biggest Loser.

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

Calm before the storm?

After a few weeks of insane volatility, this week was quiet. Almost… too quiet? In all seriousness, we’re still not out of the historical period for volatility for the markets. Typically, the volatility dies off in the 3rd or 4th week of October before the market rallies into the end of the year.

Of course, nothing is ever “typical.” Back in 2018, the markets collapsed all the way through November and into the end of the year. In fact, if you recall, Christmas Eve 2018 was the worst Christmas Eve since the Great Depression. This is all my long way of saying is that the best plan is to have a plan for both outcomes – what will you do if the market heads higher? What will you do if the market heads lower?

Personally, I’m hoping for a bigger downside move so I can add to all of my positions, however, judging from this week’s rally it’s hard to know whether we can expect even a little selloff from here.

Have a great weekend, everyone! I’ll see you next week!
