The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Tradeweb Markets (TW)

Digital marketplace transition platform provider Tradeweb Markets (TW) often reacts the opposite of the rest of the stock market and this week was no exception with Tradeweb finishing down -0.33% when the rest of the portfolio crashed dramatically.

Sure, -0.33% is still a down week, but with friends like these, that’s enough to earn Tradeweb the spot of Week’s Biggest Winner.

Golden Minerals (AUMN)

The past year has been rough on gold and the past year has been rough on speculative investments, so you can only imagine how rough the past year has been on Golden Minerals (AUMN), the speculative gold investment penny-stock in this portfolio.

AUMN got positively destroyed on Friday alone and finished the week down -17.25%, skidding in as the Week’s Biggest Loser.

This Week’s Moves

Golden Minerals (AUMN): Added to Position

On Friday, the whipsaw action that can take place in penny stocks smacked AUMN down -28.33% from its open at one point, triggering my next buy order which filled at $0.2609 and almost triggering the next buy order beneath that at $0.2006!

The buy lowered my per-share cost -3.736% from $0.4443 to $0.4277. As I mention every time, this is the riskiest kind of position and I am prepared to lose every single penny I put into it. Accordingly, the entire allocation (every dollar I’m willing to put into it) is roughly what I’m willing to risk on a March Madness bracket play or Fantasy Football. Risk management is vital in all positions, but especially in these highly-risky penny stocks.

From here, my next buy target is $0.2006 as I said above, a past point of support, and I am eyeing AUMN’s 2022 high of $0.6280 where I’ll take all of my capital out of the position. As insane as it sounds, that high is nearly 300% higher than AUMN’s low on Friday, and while it may seem crazy, that kind of movement is very doable in penny stocks (which is why so many fools like myself play in the space).

AUMN closed the week at $0.2705, up +3.68% from where I added Friday.
