The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

U.S. Natural Gas (UNG)

The U.S. Natural Gas Fund (UNG) finally caught a break this week after natural gas inventories lowered faster than analysts were expecting. As a result, the fund popped +7.45%, nearly enough to hit my break-even price, and earning UNG the spot of the Week’s Biggest Winner.

Virgin Galactic (SPCE)

Virgin Galactic (SPCE) pulled back -17.93% on no news this week, but given that this is one of the most speculative names out there and the fact that it is still up more than +40% YTD, you can see why. SPCE earned the spot of the Week’s Biggest Loser, though.

Points of Interest

The Rotation out of Speculation into Commodities

It’s always interesting to see what I can glean about the state of the entire market simply by reviewing the microcosms of my own portfolios. For example, a market rotation seems to have started as commodities such as natural gas and even uranium (URA) caught a bid this week, rising as investors switched back to the sector.

In addition to speculative positions like Virgin Galactic (SPCE) pulling back dramatically, investors also started to flee the cannabis space following a few negative earnings from different companies. This caused any company in the space – GrowGeneration (GRWG) in the case of this portfolio – to pull back substantially, too, even though GRWG has not yet reported this season.
