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

Adjusting price targets…

After last week’s selloffs, I took time this week to revisit each of my individual speculative names and to see if I wanted to raise price targets to match the selloffs from last week. 

It all comes down to a play-by-play basis with some seeing price target increases and others remaining where they were.

Either way, a slow week provides the time to get the little errands done that come from managing your own portfolio.
