The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Pinterest (PINS)

Once the Fed announced they did, indeed, see inflation, the rotation out of reopening plays into tech plays was painfully obvious with growth plays like Pinterest (PINS) rocketing +8.81% to win the spot of the Week’s Biggest Winner.

Uranium ETF (URA)

The commodities plays got hit particularly hard since raising interest rates slows the growth of infrastructure projects and Uranium (URA) was no exception, dropping -11.04% to earn itself the spot of the Week’s Biggest Loser.

Recovery Speculation Basket

CCL

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

Wendy’s (WEN): Added to Position

Wendy’s (WEN) may have lost that meme’ing feeling this week, dropping on Tuesday to hit my next buy target at $24.00. Tuesday’s buy order lowered my per-share cost -2.39% from $27.25 to $26.60. From here, my next buy target is $22.10, slightly above a previous point of support before the meme madness started.

WEN closed the week at $23.10, down -3.75% from where I added Tuesday.
