The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Tesla (TSLA)

After rental car company Hertz (HTZZ) announced it would be buying 100,000 Tesla Model 3s for its fleet, Tesla (TSLA) stock exploded. TSLA rocketed over $1,100 and broke the trillion-dollar market cap for the stock (and then some). Locking in a whopping gain of +22.46%, up +57.86% for the year, Tesla destroyed the week and easily earned itself the spot of the Week’s Biggest Winner.

Twilio (TWLO)

What happens when a super high-flying growth stock reports its growth has stalled, at least for the moment? Well, for Cloud play Twilio (TWLO), that means you fall all the way back down to Earth… hard. TWLO dropped -18.66% after reporting a downright destructive quarter, landing itself the spot of 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

Boeing (BA): Added to Position

Boeing (BA) remained under selling pressure this week, dipping below $210 and triggering a buy order on Tuesday that filled at $208.19. The buy raises my per-share cost +26.11 from -$261.81 to -$235.70 (a negative per-share cost indicates all capital has been removed from a position plus $235.70 in profits per-share in addition to each share’s current value).

The buy locks in a -43.68% discount on shares I sold for an average price of $369.67 over the course of 2018-2019. From here, my next buy price target is $191.90, above a past point of support, and my sell target is around $385 when my BA position will have exceeded the target allocation size for the portfolio.

BA closed the week at $207.03, down -0.56% from where I added Tuesday.

Canopy Growth Corp (CGC): Added to Position

Canopy Growth Corporation (CGC) came under selling pressure along with the rest of the recreational cannabis space, testing its lows from September’s selloff and triggering a buy order I had in place which filled at $12.90 on Wednesday.

The buy locks in a whopping -70.55% discount on shares I sold for $43.81 back on February 3, 2021. From here, my next buying price target is $10.95, above a past point of support, and my sell target is around $51.00 where I’ll take all of the capital out of the position.

CGC closed the week at $12.63, down -2.09% from where I added Wednesday. 

Dow Chemical (DOW): Added to Position

Dow Chemical (DOW) sold off with many of the cyclical reopening plays on Wednesday, triggering a buy order I had in place which filled at $56.11. The buy raised my per-share cost $0.21 from $35.69 to $35.90. With DOW’s nearly 5% dividend yield at these levels, it’s hard not to want to add more to my position.

From here, my next buy price target is $54.00, around a key support level from the past, and my next sell target is near DOW’s all-time high at $70.45.

DOW closed the week at $55.97, down -0.25% from where I added Wednesday.

Logitech (LOGI): Added to Position

Despite reporting a surprise-to-the-upside earnings report on Tuesday, Logitech (LOGI) sold off when the company warned that supply chain issues would continue to be a pinch into the future. When the stock gapped-down on Tuesday morning, a buy order of mine filled at $82.54, raising my per-share cost +1.79 from $4.05 to $5.84.

The buy locked in a -11.95% discount replacing some of the shares I sold for $93.74 back on November 5, 2020 and my current $5.84 per-share cost represents a -76.08% discount from my initial purchase of LOGI at $24.40 back on November 11, 2016.

From here, my next buy price target is $76.20, above a past point of support, and my next sell target is around $150.00 when the position will have exceeded the target allocation size for my portfolio.

LOGI closed the week at $83.03, up +0.59% from where I added Tuesday.

Twilio (TWLO): Added to Position

Twilio (TWLO) reported an absolutely awful earnings quarter on Wednesday evening, causing the stock price to plummet nearly -20% where it triggered a buy order I had in place that filled at $286.50 on Thursday morning.

The buy does put capital back into this speculative basket position, raising my per-share cost to $84.67 which still represents a -32.65% from my initial $125.71 buy back on August 8, 2019. From here, my next buy price target is much lower at $216.80 and my next sell target is near TWLO’s all-time high at $454.00.

TWLO closed the week at $291.36, up +1.70% from where I added Thursday.
