Let’s ignore the fact that long-term investors are down more than -50% YTD…

This Week’s Moves

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD): Added to Position

Following Tuesday’s raucous start to the week, stocks sold off on Wednesday with the technology sector, in particular, getting hit hard. AMD dipped below $50.00 a share, triggering a buy order I had in place which filled at $49.93.

The buy replaced shares I sold back on April 27 for $57.64, locking in a -13.38% discount on the shares and still not putting any of the original capital back into the position with a current per-share cost of -$5.14 per share (or $5.14 worth of profit for each share held).

My next buy target for AMD is around $45 and I have no intention to sell as many analysts believe AMD may be due for a breakout from its $59.27 all-time high made just a few weeks ago.

AMD closed the week at $53.80, up +7.75% from where I added on Wednesday. 

Twitter (TWTR): Profit-Taking

When the markets roared to life after the Memorial Day weekend, Twitter (TWTR) crossed through a sell target I had in place, letting go of a few shares on Tuesday at $33.60.

The sale locked in +52.66% in gains on some of the shares I bought at $22.01 back on March 18 and also lowered my per-share cost -5.50% from $25.25 to $23.86. My next sell target for TWTR is near $36.00 and my next buy target is $22.75-$23.00.

TWTR closed the week at $30.97, down -7.83% from where I sold on Tuesday.

Yeti (YETI): Profit-Taking

It was definitely a volatile week because as I was adding to AMD (AMD) on Wednesday while tech was selling off, Yeti (YETI) was flying higher, crossing a sell order target which filled at $33.93.

The sale locked in +61.57% in gains on shares I bought for $21.00 back on
March 12 and lowered my per-share cost -42.99% from $10.77 to $6.14. My next sell target is near $36.50 which will pull out the remaining investment capital and some profits in the position.

My next buy target is around $16.50-$16.60, near March’s lows.

YETI closed the week at $32.10, down -5.39% from where I sold on Wednesday.
