The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Alphabet (GOOGL)

Alphabet (GOOGL) finally seemed to get off the mat this week, announcing that its AI supercomputer outperforms Nvidia’s (NVDA) [last-generation] Artificial Intelligence Processor. Despite the decidedly poor comparison choice on GOOGL’s part since NVDA has a much faster, newer AI processor available, the market was happy to see there might still be intelligent life left in Google with the stock popping +4.52% and earning the spot of the Week’s Biggest Winner.

Tesla (TSLA)

Tesla (TSLA) reported its vehicle production numbers and deliveries last weekend, and, well, let’s just the say the report left a lot to be desired. As a result of disappointing the street expectations, TSLA dropped -10.80% this week, earning itself the spot of the Biggest Loser.

This Week’s Moves

Nike (NKE): Dividend Reinvestment

Nike (NKE) paid out its quarterly dividend on Tuesday which, after reinvesting, raised my per-share cost +0.28% from -$10.55 to -$10.52 (a negative per-share cost indicates all capital has been removed in addition to $10.52 per share added to the portfolio’s bottom line in addition to each share’s current value).

The fact that my cost basis increased might seem counterintuitive, but it’s actually just basic math: since I reinvest the dividends so they compound, there are more shares in the position; the position is now worth more, but the cost basis is increased since there are more shares in the position to divide the profit among. 

From here, my next buy target is $82.55, slightly above NKE’s 2022 low and my next sell target is $161.35, slightly below a past level of resistance.
