Get Irked's Speculation in Play - April 14, 2022

The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Airlines ETF (JETS)

When the CEO of Delta Airlines (DAL) reported higher bookings at higher prices than in the entire history of the airline, all of the airlines really took off (pun intended). The news lifted the Airlines ETF (JETS) +8.04% in the shortened four-day week, leading to it landing (I know, the puns, the puns…) the spot of the Week’s Biggest Winner.

Advanced Micro D (AMD)

Investors aren’t done beating up the semiconductors by a long shot, so Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) took it on the chin this week, short-circuiting -7.87% to come in as the Week’s Biggest Loser.

This Week’s Moves

No News is Good News?

Last week, the Investments in Play portfolio had nothing going on, but this week it’s the Speculation in Play portfolio doing nothing. And, sometimes, I find it a relief. While it’s always more exciting to be taking profits or adding to positions, with all the volatility we’ve seen in 2022, I don’t mind when a portfolio takes a week off, especially one as volatile as the Speculation in Play.
