The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Logitech (LOGI)

Logitech (LOGI) reported positively blowout earnings for the quarter. In fact, the earnings were so good that LOGI ignored the fact that the stock market was crashing and actually rallied +11,39%, easily finishing the week as its Biggest Winner.

Alphabet (GOOGL)

Just like a good earnings report can send a company skyrocketing to the moon, a terrible miss with shaky guidance can positively destroy a stock. Traders and investors sent Google / Alphabet’s (GOOGL) stock through the floor after the company released discouraging and unconfident guidance about the state of Artificial Intelligence at the behemoth. GOOGL crashed -9.91% and swung as this Week’s Biggest Loser.

This Week’s Moves

Block (SQ): Added to Position

When a European fintech company reported consumers were drastically cutting back on spending, the news caused all of the American fintech companies to sell off, too, with Block (SQ) taking the brunt of it. 

Block fell through my next buy target which filled on Friday at $40.26, adding 2.53% to my position and locking in a -58.64% discount replacing some of the shares I sold for $97.34 on June 17, 2020.

The buy raised my per-share “cost” +3.92% from -$66.00 to -$63.41 (a negative per-share cost indicates all capital has been removed in addition to $63.41 per share added to the portfolio’s bottom line in addition to each share’s current value).

From here, my next buy target is $35.64, around a point of support, and my next sell target is $80.26, just under the high Block saw in July.

SQ closed the week at $40.00, down -0.65% from where I added Friday.

See you next week!
