The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Draft Kings (DKNG)

Draft Kings’ (DKNG) seemingly endless dive into the depths of the unknown was halted this week when casino and online sports betting operator Caesars Entertainment (CZR) reported outstanding revenues for online betting. The result? DKNG popped a whopping +28.40% to hit the jackpot of the Week’s Biggest Winner.

Las Vegas Sands (LVS)

While online sports betting is the new hotness, in-casino gambling in Macau in China is the new… coldness? Regardless, casino operators with COVID-lockdown China exposure got beat up this week with LVS dropping -5.52% to earn the spot of the Week’s Biggest Loser.

This Week’s Moves

Virgin Galactic (SPCE): Added to Position

Virgin Galactic (SPCE) and the rest of the super-speculative SPAC stocks got hit particularly hard during Thursday’s selloff, dropping down and triggering a buy order I had in place which filled at $7.50.

The order locked in an astounding -86.54% discount on shares I sold for $55.74 back on June 25, 2021, and raised my per-share “cost” +2.48 from -$9.90 to -$7.42 (a negative per-share price indicates that all capital has been taken out of the position and that each share instead adds $7.42 to the portfolio’s bottom line in addition to the value of each share). 

From here, my next buy target is $6.70 and my next sell target is $44.10.

SPCE closed the week at $9.18, up +22.40% from where I added Thursday.
