The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Roblox (RBLX)

Roblox (RBLX) saw a +4.00% pop in a disastrous week on no news (unless you call the company issuing a demand all employees return to the office or get laid off a quality news report).

There are just times when the market decides it’s time for a stock to bounce, and this week seems to have been Roblox’s turn, coming in as this week’s Biggest Winner.

Canopy Growth Corp (CGC)

With a new Speaker of the House yet to be named in Congress and higher interest rates posing huge problems for companies with huge loans *cough* cannabis sector *cough*, the entire cannabis sector continued to get pounded this week.

In this portfolio, that meant Canopy Growth Corporation (CGC) got smacked for a -26.80% weekly loss, easily earning this stinker the spot of the Week’s Biggest Loser.

This Week’s Moves

Arm Holdings (ARM): Added to Position

Arm Holdings (ARM) broke through its all-time low on Friday, crashing through my next buy target which added 5.62% to my allocation filling at $47.60. The buy lowered my per-share cost -3.36% from $55.00 to $53.15.

From here, my next buy target is $44.90, slightly below the psychological support provided by $45.00 and my next sell target is $68.90, slightly below ARM’s current all-time high set shortly after it came public.

ARM closed the week at $47.87, up +0.57% from where I added Friday.

Morgan Stanley (MS): Added to Position x 2

Morgan Stanley (MS) rallied a bit off its low on Monday, and since I’ve been wanting to add to this all year and haven’t taken the opportunity, I decided to wait for it to pull back and made a buy which filled at $78.68, adding 9.05% to my allocation. The buy locked in -16.07% discount replacing shares I sold for $93.75 last year back on December 13, 2022 and raised my per-share cost +5.56% from $63.71 to $67.25. 

Since Morgan Stanley would report earnings on Wednesday – a binary event where it would either be good or bad – I wanted to take advantage of the discount prices. Of course, when MS disappointed, that meant it was time to add even more with a second buy that added 8.56% to my allocation at $75.11, giving me a $76.90 average buy price.

The second buy locked in a -17.72% discount replacing shares I sold for $91.29 on November 15, 2022 and raised my per-share cost an additional +2.23% from $67.25 up to $68.75. From here, my next buy target is $67.81, above a key point of support Morgan Stanley saw in the past, and my next sell target is $94.79, under a past point of resistance.

MS closed the week at $73.13, down -4.90% from my $76.90 average buy.

See you next week!
