This Week’s Moves

Twilio (TWLO): Profit-Taking

Twilio’s (TWLO) epic run continued on Monday when it crossed into a +20% just since 2020, so I sold a small amount of my position at $118.26.

The sale locked in a 30% move on shares I purchased just two months ago at $90.96 on November 7, 2019, and lowered my per-share cost a slight -0.76% from $107.61 to $106.79.

Rather than true profit-taking, I wanted to reduce my allocation in Twilio. Given how high-growth stocks move dramatically on both upswings and downswings in the market, I was a little uncomfortable holding nearly half my target allocation at such a high per-share price.

Now, I have no additional profit-taking plans until TWLO breaches its all-time high of $151.00 set on June 20 of last year. My next buy target is $97.55.

TWLO closed the week at $119.36, up +0.93% from where I sold Monday.
