The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Virgin Galactic (SPCE)

After crashing down a bit last week, Virgin Galactic (SPCE) once again pulls up, locking in +9.48% in weekly gains and earning itself the Week’s Biggest Loser as the date of its first civilian launch with Richard Branson aboard rapidly approaches later in July.

Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL)

Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL) along with the rest of the tourism and hospitality sector sank this week as the Covid Delta variant rear its ugly head internationally. Both domestic and international tourism is expected to get pounded as the more-contagious variant takes root everywhere.

Recovery Speculation Basket

Airlines ETF

JETS

Carnival Cruise

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

No Moves… Patiently Waiting…

As we head through summer, volatility looks like it may be back in the markets so things could get exciting very quickly. With a few positions like Pinterest (PINS) reaching for profit-taking targets and others reaching buying targets, the summer might pick up for the Speculation in Play portfolio.
