This Week’s Moves

Square (SQ): Profit-Taking

When Square (SQ) made new all-time highs in the middle of a market-wide selloff on Friday, it was time to take profits. Square is a core holding of mine and one of my biggest all-time winners with my position price of $11.10 back on August 5, 2016.

Since then, I’ve pulled nearly six times my investment capital out of the stock (each share I currently hold adds +$48.00 in profit to my portfolio). Like all of my core holdings, I hate taking profits in this name, but my discipline dictates that when a position breaks an all-time high and/or reaches its allocation target, it’s time to sell, and Square filled both of those criteria this week.

So, on Friday, I sold some shares at $105.96 to lock in +89.65% in gains on some of the shares I bought on March 12 for $55.87. My next sell target for Square is around $111.00-112.00 and my next buy target is $61.20.

SQ closed the week at $104.30, down -1.57% from where I sold Friday.
