The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Yeti (YETI)

As economies reopened and states eased restrictions, consumers headed outdoors… a great sign for Yeti (YETI) maker of coolers and equipment specifically for enjoying the outdoors. The stock jumped +5.62% in a down week, locking in nearly +20% for the year and earning itself the spot of the week’s Biggest Winner!

Twitter (TWTR)

Twitter (TWTR) really took it on the chin this week, losing -13.05% for the week’s Biggest Loser spot. After advertisers started leaving Facebook (FB) in droves over its failure to enforce hate and violent speech limitations, advertisers painted Twitter with the same brush, with some announcing a halt to all social media advertising in 2020.

What is the Super-Speculative Basket?

The Super Speculative Basket (“Super-Spec”) is made up of a handful of stocks so incredibly volatile that I’m uncomfortable giving any of them full allocations in my portfolio, instead dividing a single allocation among all of them.

Currently, my Super-Spec stocks are as follows: the Airlines ETF (JETS), Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL), and Virgin Galactic (SPCE). They are listed as a single allocation in the portfolio breakdown chart each week. 

This Week’s Moves

Pinterest (PINS): Profit-Taking

It was time to take more profits in Pinterest (PINS) when it made a stab at its high since the pandemic started on Tuesday with a sell order filling at $24.24. The sale took +81.44% in profits on 1/3 of the shares I bought back on March 12 for $13.36.

The sale also lowered my per-share cost -14.42% from $8.46 to $7.24. My next sell target for the stock is $26.85 and my next buy target is $13.85.

PINS closed the week at $21.61, down -10.85% from where I sold Tuesday.
