The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Tesla (TSLA)

Tesla (TSLA) announced a 5-for-1 stock split this week and jumped +13.63% to lock in its spot as the week’s Biggest Winner (not to mention a Year-To-Date gain of nearly 300%). Some may say a stock split adds no real value to a stock, however, making the stock price lower makes it more accessible to retail investors, and there’s certainly some inherent value in that!

Salesforce (CRM)

The rotation out of high-growth technology names into economic-rebound plays continued this week with Salesforce (CRM) taking a bit of the brunt of it, dropping -3.78% to earn the spot of the week’s Biggest Loser.

This Week’s Moves

Dow Chemical (DOW): Profit-Taking

Dow Chemical (DOW) saw a resurgence this week as the market rotated into cyclicals from high-growth tech stocks, tripping a sell order I had in place to sell some shares at $45.64 on Tuesday.

The sale locked in +99.48% worth of gains on some of the shares I bought on March 12 for $22.88 and lowered my per-share cost -3.77% from $39.80 to $39.65. My next buy target for the stock is around $31.25 and my next sell target is $49.00.

DOW closed the week at $44.87, down -1.69% from where I sold Tuesday.
