Get Irked's Speculation in Play - January 15, 2021

The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Virgin Galactic (SPCE)

Virgin Galactic (SPCE) took off once more after the announcement that a New Edge Tech Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) would be assembled which would, of course, include SPCE (how could it not?!).

SPCE gained +20.66% this week to earn itself the spot of the week’s Biggest Winner.

Twitter (TWTR)

After banning Donald Trump’s Twitter (TWTR) account for, well, attempting to rebel against the U.S. government, Twitter fell under hard times this week as it appears government regulation of the platform is virtually inevitable.

The stock dropped -12.24% this week, also making it the biggest loser so far this year at -16.57% YTD, but it definitely locked in the week’s Biggest Loser spot.

Recovery Speculation Basket

What is the Recovery Speculation Basket?

The Recovery Speculation Basket (“Recovery Spec”) represents stocks that will thrive if vaccines are released quickly and we return to normal but have the likelihood of collapsing if more lockdowns occur. These positions are too speculative to have their own allocation and share a single allocation.

Currently, my Recovery Spec stocks are as follows: the Airlines Exchange Traded Fund (JETS) and Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL). They are listed as a single allocation in the portfolio breakdown chart each week. 

This Week’s Moves

Airlines ETF (JETS): Added to Position

The Airlines ETF demonstrated continued support this week, maintaining its price action around the $21.70-$22.25 range, so I added back in on Tuesday at $22.03. The purchase puts some capital back into the position, giving me a new per-share cost of $4.87.

From here, my next price target to add is $17.90, right above JETS’ 200-Day Simple Moving Average (SMA). I currently have no sell targets for the stock since I believe this year’s economic reopening may lead to a surge in air travel, lifting all airline stocks and, consequently, the JETS ETF.

JETS closed the week at $22.28, up +1.13% from where I added Tuesday.
