The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Danimer Sci (DNMR)

This is one of those examples of the biggest stinker getting the biggest pop. Danimer Scientific (DNMR) has been a blight on the portfolio, but, somehow, this week it popped +13.60% which was enough to earn it the spot of the Week’s Biggest Winner.

Pinterest (PINS)

The social media space got positively decimated this week following Snap’s (SNAP) downright dreadful earnings report where the company painted a picture of advertisers running for the exits. Every social media play got hit and Pinterest (PINS) was no exception, taking a -10.74% loss in a week where almost everything was green and earning itself the spot of the Week’s Biggest Loser.

This Week’s Moves

Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL): Added to Position

Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL) collapsed with the rest of the market on Tuesday following Snap’s (SNAP) announcement that the macroeconomic environment had deteriorated faster than the company expected. CCL dropped through my next buy order which filled at $11.72 and locked in a whopping -52.57% discount replacing some of the shares I sold for $24.71 back on June 8, 2020.

The buy also raised my per-share cost +$0.69 from $6.95 to $7.64, a -55.70% reduction from where I initially opened the position at $17.25 on March 12, 2020. From here, my next buy target is $8.20, above CCL’s pandemic low, and my next sell target is $21.35, below the high of CCL’s last bull rally.

CCL closed the week at $13.97, up +19.20% from where I added Tuesday.
