Recovery Speculation Basket
Airlines ETF
JETS
Carnival Cruise
CCLWhat 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
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD): Added to Position
AMD (AMD) once again broke down below $80.00 on Monday, so I decided to add some capital back into this position at $79.38 as I feel like the Xilinx (XLNX) acquisition will be far more accretive than the street is giving the company credit for.
The purchase gives me a $22.00 cost basis, higher than my initial purchase price of $19.54 back on January 10, 2019, but that’s because I have that much faith in Lisa Su as a CEO and in AMD as a company. From here, my next purchase price is under $40 (yes, that low) and I have no sale targets until after the Xilinx acquisition goes through and we see what it does for AMD’s bottom line.
AMD closed the week at $78.81, down -0.72% from where I added Monday.
DraftKings (DKNG): Added to Position
DraftKings (DKNG) has been an interesting position, rocketing +40.42% to an all-time high of $74.38 from where I initially opened it at $52.97 on January 29, 2021 only to tumble down -27.72% from its high before finding support at $53.76 back on April 20.
Since DraftKings was going to report earnings on Thursday, I decided to take that bet (pun intended, sorry) and add to the position on Monday when it dipped back below $60 with an order that filled at $57.03. While that raised my per-share cost +3.83% from $52.97 to $55.00, I wanted to take the chance.
Despite a stellar earnings report, this was definitely the wrong decision as DKNG got knocked to the mat, dropping like a rock for the rest of the week. From here, my next buy target is $35.50, above the low of DraftKing’s last big selloff that took it lower from here.
DKNG closed the week at $48.42, down -15.10% from where I added Monday.
