Highlights from the Week
Biggest Winner: Boeing (BA)
Boeing (BA) earned a +7.30% gain this week thanks to a new order for 200 of the 737-MAX series from International Airlines Group (IAG) at the Paris Air Show, perhaps indicating that the industry is beginning to process the two airline crashes in the past two years.
Although not the best overall performer Year-To-Date, Boeing is still up 17.81% for the year, and given the combination of company-specific woes and Trade War concerns with China, this performance is certainly not to be ignored.
Biggest Loser: Dow (DOW)
Dow (DOW) was actually up quite a bit this week before pulling back dramatically due to Trade War concerns and closing out the week -5.45%, earning it the spot as this week’s Weekly Loser.
We view Dow as a long-term investment as its chemical products put it squarely as a commodity play seeing risk from both Trade War and macroeconomics concerns. Its 5.79% dividend yield at these levels make its -8.32% YTD performance a little easier to swallow.
This Week’s Moves
No Moves This Week
Although the market continued to rocket higher this week, we’re comfortable with our current portfolio allocations, so we didn’t make any moves.
The market is far too frothy to add to existing positions and our current positions aren’t anywhere we think we need to take any off the table.
Sometimes, the best thing to do is to do nothing at all.
We are eyeing our biggest positions – Nike (NKE) and Square (SQ) – for potential profit-taking if the market continues its upward climb.
We also have a target sell order for about 10% of our IDEXX Labs (IDEXX) position if it reaches the high $280s before the end of June as those levels indicate significant overbought conditions on the Weekly RSI and also hits a historical trendline top.
