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

The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL)

Ever hear the line, “So bad, it’s good?” Well, that was the cruiseline sector this week, which, after weeks (if not months) of relentless beatdowns, saw a huge pop this week, despite the negative price action marketwide.

The result? Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL) walks away with the Week’s Biggest Winner after finishing the week up +5.32%.

DraftKings (DKNG)

Last week’s pop as a result of a pending deal with ESPN evaporated this week when surveys show that California’s proposition to legalize sports gambling is not likely to pass. As a result, the gambling space got slammed with Best-of-Breed DraftKings (DKNG) getting hit for an epic -24.64%, easily landing it in the spot of the Week’s Biggest Loser.

This Week’s Moves

Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL): Added to Position

Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL) hit the iceberg that was Monday’s market selloff, breaking through to new 2022 lows and triggering my buy order which filled at $6.18. The buy lowered my per-share cost -2.49% from $7.64 to $7.45.

From here, my next buy target, derived from the Great Financial Crisis in 2008-09, of all things, is down at $5.20, above a historical point of support. My next sell target is $11.30, just below CCL’s rally in August.

CCL closed the week at $7.13, up +15.37% from where I added Monday.

Danimer Scientific (DNMR): Added to Position

The unrelenting selloff in bioplastic manufacturer Danimer Scientific (DNMR) remained, well, unrelenting this week with DNMR pushing through my next buy target which filled on Wednesday at $2.40.

The buy lowered my per-share cost -4.00% from $10.00 to $9.60. From here, my next buy target is $1.70, a price calculated using Fibonacci Retracement, and my next sell target is $10.05, slightly below a past point of support and resistance.

DNMR closed the week at $2.38, down -0.83% from where I added Wednesday.
