The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Tesla (TSLA)

They’re going to have to change the thinking about stock splits adding no value because Tesla (TSLA) just notched an additional +24.19% in gains this week on absolutely no news other than the upcoming 5:1 split. In fact, Tesla (TSLA) is now bigger than ALL of the rest of the car industry COMBINED in terms of market cap. Definitely the week’s Biggest Winner right here, folks.

Canopy Growth Corp (CGC)

Remember when consumer cannabis was the next big sector to play and Canopy Growth Corporation (CGC) was nearly $60 a share? Yeah, doesn’t feel like it was that long ago.

CGC dropped -6.81% to close the week at $16.02 and earning itself the spot of the week’s Biggest Loser.

This Week’s Moves

Square (SQ): Profit-Taking

Despite a market reeling from negative economic news, Square (SQ) continues to remain the biggest position in the Investments in Play portfolio. On Thursday, it was time to take more profits as Square exceeded the target allocation for the portfolio once again.

I sold shares at an average price of $154.86, locking in +141.86% in gains on shares I bought at $64.03 on May 29, 2019. The sale also increased my profit-per-share to -$95.70 (meaning that each share in the portfolio cost nothing and adds $95.70 in gains to the overall portfolio).

My next sell target for Square is $171.20 and my next buy target is around $64.00.

 SQ closed the week at $155.10, up +0.15% from where I sold Thursday.
