The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Tesla (TSLA)

After having its credit rating raised above “junk status,” Tesla (TSLA) saw a decent +5.70% pop during a shaky week, which was enough to park it in the spot of the Week’s Biggest Winner.

Block (SQ)

It’s never a good thing when your company becomes the target of a noted shortseller. It’s even worse when that shortseller is the renowned Hindenberg Research which released a report alleging that Block (SQ) engages in practices of poor compliance, allows fraud to take place on its platforms, and facilitates criminal activity. Even though the company came out to refute all of the claims, the stock dropped -17.95% this week, easily b[locking] in the spot of the Week’s Biggest Loser.

This Week’s Moves

Nvidia (NVDA): Profit-Taking

Nvidia’s (NVDA) epic run continued this week despite the negative price action following Wednesday’s Federal Reserve meeting. On Thursday, Nvidia triggered my next sell order which filled at $274.38, locking in basically no gains selling shares I bought for $274.51 back on January 7, 2022 (the stock’s meager dividend means there was a tiny gain but too negligible to be concerned with).

Why did I sell shares for basically what I bought them for?

Simple. Nvidia sold off far more than I expected in 2022 and has now risen to such a level that it has far exceeded the allocation target for the portfolio. In fact, even after the sale, Nvidia is still in excess of the 7.14% allocation target for the portfolio.

The sale lowered my per-share “cost” -$16.38 from -$39.32 to -$55.70 (a negative per-share cost indicates all capital has been removed in addition to $55.70 per share added to the portfolio’s bottom line in addition to each share’s current value).

From here, my next sell target is $312,65 just under a key point of past resistance, and my next buy target is $155.93, above a past point of support.

NVDA closed the week at $267.79, down -2.40% from where I took profits Thursday.
