The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser
Yeti (YETI)
Pandemic-proof outdoor activity equipment maker Yeti (YETI) once again saw investors rush into to buy its stock this week, popping +7.93% and earning Biggest Winner credit.
Pinterest (PINS)
It’s always the sign of a good week when the “Biggest Loser” loses less than 1%. Pinterest (PINS) pulled back -0.98% after weeks of outperformance. I wouldn’t call it a loser by any stretch, but it is the Biggest Loser for this week, at least.

SPCEWhat 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 even in my Speculation in Play 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
Monday was time for more profit-taking in Pinterest (PINS) when it made another run at its new all-time high, triggering a sell order I had in place at $44.35.
Monday’s sale locked in nearly triple (+279.28%) the gains of some of the shares I bought for $15.88 back on March 10. From here, I have no additional sell targets until we see where this high-performer heads next and a buy target at $32.70.
PINS closed the week at $43.39, down -2.16% from where I sold Monday.
