The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Tesla (TSLA)

After making a very public spectacle of his need to sell a significant amount of stock in Tesla (TSLA), CEO Elon Musk finally finished his sales in TSLA this week, marking a bottom for the selloff. From that point, Tesla bounced +14.42% this week, locking in its spot as the Week’s Biggest Winner.

Twilio (TWLO)

Ever since the Federal Reserve turned hawkish on its economic policy, high-flying growth stocks like Twilio (TWLO) have been taking the brunt of the market rotation into stocks with earnings. This week was no different with Twilio (TWLO), cloud data and app services company, finished the week in the red in a market of mostly green. TWLO dropped -2.36%, landing itself as the Biggest Loser.

Year-to-Date Performance

The Speculative Basket

The Speculative Basket is made up of ten (10) 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), Rivian (RIVN), Roblox (RBLX), Salesforce (CRM), Skyworks Solutions (SWKS), Take Two Interactive (TTWO), and Twilio (TWLO).

This Week’s Moves

Rivian (RIVN): Added to Position

Rivian (RIVN) has truly fallen from grace after appearing to become the next Electric Vehicle (EV) darling only to collapse nearly -50% from its $179.47 all-time high just set only a few weeks ago.

On Monday, RIVN retested its lows from last week where I added to my position with a buy order that filled at $93.25, a discount of -26.57% from my initial buy at $127.00. Additionally, the order lowered my per-share cost -8.86% from my initial buy at $127.00 to $115.75.

I’m playing the very slow game with this one both in terms of buy quantities but also ranges between my buys. My next buy target is $85.55, around one of RIVN’s rumored IPO prices and my next sell target is $375.75, a potential high-price estimated using a combination of reverse Fibonacci Retracement and other methods (plus, this is a long-term investment).

RIVN closed the week at $96.84, up +3.85% from where I added Monday.
