This Week’s Moves

GrowGeneration (GRWG): Added to Position

After finding support earlier in the week, GrowGeneration (GRWG) returned to the selloff following Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s announcement of an impending rate hike on Wednesday. GRWG dropped through my next buy target which filled at $7.15 and lowered my per-share cost -5.41% from $20.35 to $19.25.

From here, my next buy target is $6.25, above a past point of support, and my next sell target $25.30, below GRWG’s high from its last bull rally in 2021.

GRWG closed the week at $7.34, up +2.66% from where I added on Wednesday.

Palantir Technologies (PLTR): Added to Position

Palantir Technologies (PLTR) collapsed with the rest of speculative tech on Monday, triggering a buy order which filled at $12.79. The order lowered my per-share cost -6.32% from $22.95 to $21.50. From here, my next buy target is $10.35 and my next sell target is $26.30, near the high of PLTR’s last bull rally in 2021.

PLTR closed the week at $12.71, down -0.63% from where I added on Monday.

Uranium ETF (URA): Added to Position

The Uranium ETF (URA) triggered a buy order that filled at $19.59 when it dropped on Monday. The buy lowered my per-share cost -$0.03 from $19.80 to $19.77. From here, my next buy target is $17.55, near a past point of support, and my next sell target is $31.20, near the high from URA’s last bull rally in 2021.

URA closed the week at $19.97, up +1.94% from where I added Monday.

Zillow (Z): Added to Position

Like GrowGeneration (GRWG) above, Zillow (Z) returned to the selloff on Wednesday, testing (and breaking through) its lows from Monday and triggering a buy order I had in place which filled at $48.04.

My first buy since my initial purchase at $57.13 back on November 18, 2021, Wednesday’s buy lowered my per-share cost -5.30% from $57.13 to $54.10. From here, my next buy is much lower at $33.70, above a past point of support, and my next sell is $198.30, near Z’s all-time high where I’ll pull all capital out of the position.

Z closed the week at $47.42, down -1.29% from where I added on Wednesday.
