The Top Dawg of the Week for Week #27 is Tesla.

The stock rose 8% yesterday alone after reporting better than expected second quarter deliveries.  It’s up 188% YTD. Sorry, Shorty.

Here’s the monthly chart. When you zoom out it really doesn’t look that crazy and even has a measured move kinda vibe.  

$TSLA has closed +/-20% on the week 6 times during 2020. Holy volatility. Here’s a cool chart telling that tale…

The Winners 📈

△  #5 S&P 500 – Amazon.com, Inc. tore it up this week. The e-commerce giant gained 7.33% and moved up one spot to #5 on the ST Top 25 S&P 500 List. 

$AMZN closed at an all-time high on Thursday. Since the beginning of April, the stock has closed at a weekly all-time high 12 out of the last 13 weeks. 💪

Take a peek at the weekly dominance. $AMZN is up 56.42% YTD.

△ #13 N100 – Netflix Inc made week #27 its b*itch. The stock rose 7.55% while moving up one spot on the ST Top 25 N100 List.

Similar to Amazon, Netflix has been a beast of late. The weekly chart shows a clean box break-out. Can this breakout be sustained? Place your bets…

$NFLX is already up 47% YTD. 💪

△  #23 R2K – Centogen NV made one helluva debut on the ST Top 25 R2K List. The stock gained 25% during the 4-day week and settled in at the #23 spot.  

Shares were up nearly 8% on Monday after the rare disease company announced that it will offer COVID testing to travelers in the Frankfurt airport until the end of July. 

On top of this, Centogen also announced that its COVID test has been granted emergency use authorization by the FDA. Well done. 👏

△ #24 S&P 500 – Microsoft Corporation – We’ve seen a move into large-cap names on the winners lists this week, $MSFT is the last addition. 

The stock came into Week #27 gun slinging, closing green all four out of four days. Impressive. $MSFT has also closed green the last five weeks in a row, up 11.55% in that time. Steady as she goes.

Earnings are approaching on July 15th for the behemoth so keep an eye out y’all. 👀

The Sinners 📉

▼ #15 N100 – NetEase, a Chinese internet company, gave up a portion of last week’s gains. It only fell 1.63% but dropped 3 spots on the ST Top 25 N100 List. It was the only red name on the N100 List.

$NTES likes to stair step higher. The latest advances have been followed by short-term consolidations, resembling a set of stairs. Two weeks ago the stock made new highs, this week it went sideways under that high. Will we see the next leg higher? Place your bets… 

▼ #4 R2K – Inovio Pharmaceuticals Inc was last week’s biggest gainer and it’s this week’s biggest loser. 

The stock dropped 28.45% and lost 2 spots on the ST Top 25 R2K List. 

After soaring 110% last week, it seems Inovio is taking a breather. 

$INO is still up 550% YTD on prospects of a COVID vaccine. Here’s a look at the weekly. 

▼ #19 S&P 500 – T-Mobile managed a small gain while most of these other names were popping off. Although the stock was up 0.77% this week, it was the ST Top 25 S&P 500’s worst performer.  

$TMUS fell 3 spots on the List, from #16 to #19. 

The stock is up 38% YTD.
