The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Tradeweb Markets (TW)

Because of its focus on digitizing markets, Tradeweb Markets (TW) tends to dance to the beat of its own drum, as was evident this week when the vast majority of the portfolio dropped while Tradeweb earned +1.78%, locking in its spot as the Week’s Biggest Winner.

GrowGeneration (GRWG)

When a sector, cannabis, in this case, rides high based on the prospect of significant legislation being passed only to have that legislation potentially fall through, well, bad things happen. GrowGeneration (GRWG) dropped -25.44% this week alone, not as bad as others in its sector, but certainly bad enough to swing into the Week’s Biggest Loser spot.

This Week’s Moves

Danimer Scientific (DNMR): Added to Position

Danimer Scientific (DNMR) continued its seemingly never-ending death spiral this week, plummeting under $2.00/shr where it triggered my next buy order on Wednesday at $1.90.

The buy lowered my per-share cost -10.94% from $9.60 to $8.55. It’s important to remember that I am well aware that I might be throwing good money after bad in this position, so I’ve severely limited the quantities I’m buying and I’ve already set the maximum amount I’m willing to risk in this stock. I am fully prepared to lose the entire amount.

DNMR has been an raging dumpster fire since I first opened it more than a year ago on October 20, 2021, and while I have lowered my per-share cost -43.00% since I first bought it, I am devilishly underwater in this one and am very aware it could go bankrupt at any moment. Ick.

From here, my next buy target is around $1.10, near the key $1.00 psychological support point and a key support developed using Fibonacci Retracement. My next sell target is $9.05, just below a past point of resistance.

DNMR closed the week at $2.04, up +7.37% from where I added Wednesday.
