The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser
Revolve Group (RVLV)
Revolve Group (RVLV) finally turned it around with the second consecutive excellent earnings report. This company whose stock dropped to a terrifyingly-low $7.17 during the March selloff just closed the week up +26.36% at $22.29 (a whopping +210.88% off its low) and even locked in Year-To-Date gains of +21.41% to earn itself the spot of the week’s Biggest Winner.
AMD (AMD)
AMD (AMD) pulled back this week as investors seemed to get nervous about its recent epic run into the $80s, and why shouldn’t they? Don’t get me wrong, AMD is definitely high-quality, but this is a stock that was $36.75 back in March! AMD sold off -4.18% to lock in the week’s Biggest Loser spot.

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
Revolve Group (RVLV): Profit-Taking
Astute readers may have noticed that Revolve Group (RVLV) has long been a dramatically overweight position in my speculation portfolio. Revolve Group reported a disappointing earnings report in Q1 and then the bottom of the market fell out right in the middle of my Three-Day Rule, preventing me from taking the loss and closing the position as the market sold off epically.
At that point, I decided not to bail on the position, and, instead, wait for its Q2 earnings report to make a decision. Q2 was actually good for Revolve so the company earned one more quarter in my portfolio, and it turns out the decision was lucky on my part.
On Wednesday, RVLV reported a good earnings report for Q3 and jumped more than 15% in after-hours trading. While I normally don’t trade in the after-hours, I decided it was time to take advantage of the pop to get rid of a chunk of the position, selling shares at $22.92 and getting the entire position in line.
The sale locked in +88.18% in gains on shares I bought during the selloff with an average price of $12.18. It lowered my position’s allocation and reduced my per-share cost -4.31% from $21.58 to $20.36. My next sell target is $24.45 and my next buy target is around $16.10.
RVLV closed the week at $22.29, down -2.75% from where I sold Wednesday.
Tradeweb Markets (TW): Added to Position
Tradeweb Markets (TW) exhibited weakness on Monday, dropping through my buy target which filled at $51.65. The order replaces shares I sold back on May 8 for $57.38 and locks in 10% in gains. My current per-share cost now rises to $21.50.
My next buy target for the stock is $46.20 and my next sell target is $86.05.
TW closed the week at $55.28, up +7.03% from where I bought Monday.
