Thread: Recent High Flying Stocks

    Just a follow up on this TSLA trade. I covered this TSLA short today at 840.00. Small gain (4%) but that pennant formation looks a little too bullish for me to hold much longer. I'll wait for another set up if I decide to short it again. If this pennant breaks down instead of up, that may be a good enough reason.

    Like Gamestop, AMC is giving the shorts a heart attack this morning...

    You can bet that the SEC is not going to sit idly and let these Reddit folks kill hedge funds...

    It's not reddit causing the upswing, not enough money there. This is billionaires teaching other billionaires a lesson.

    I suppose I take a contrarian view on this. Hedge funds are more than able to destroy businesses, hell, the economy if we let them. For example, shorting a company for more stocks than actually exists. Tax payers bail them out for the inconvenience.

    I'm not saying it will be right, but the SEC will likely get involved. When big political donors want something, they tend to get it.

    Did this have anything to do with the drop today, I don't think so?

    14:00 ET: FOMC Rate Decision
    For: Jan | Trading Impact: High | Actual: 0.125% | B.com Forecast: 0.125% | B.com Cons: 0.125% | Prior: 0.125% |
    Or this -

    10:30 ET: EIA Crude Oil Inventories
    For: 01/23 | Trading Impact: High |
    Actual: -9.91M | B.com Forecast: NA | B.com Cons: NA | Prior: +4.35M

    There did seem to be an escalation of the selling while Powell was talking, but he really didn't say anything surprising.

    As for oil, lower than expected inventories is usually bullish for the price of oil, and I see oil is actually flat on the day, so the selling in stocks didn't really impact it much.

    So, the answer is, I don't know.

    SEC will get involved. Bots trade on keywords and it's a crowded trade.

    Example: Elon Musk said use Signal and that POS penny stock ramped up instantly. Then he tweets that he loves Etsy and it sees a massive ramp. So yes there is some retail in there, but it's mostly bots and they can push the levels that will cause a squeeze. The bots traded off what was being said on r/WSB.

    I can tell you first hand one of my stocks ramped up 20% in a few hours and it's not some crazy popular growth stock either. The catalyst was a Dow Jones news article mentioning it's short interest. Once again, those bots at work.

    Unless Powell says "free money infinity", there's already so much priced in.

    Express (EXPR) is down 44% this morning

    AMC -39%

    GME +6%


    This beats watching Netflix.

    I didn't even know Express was publicly traded. Thought they were owned by L brands.

    But again, another case of a zombie company. Imagine if JCP still existed?

    Positive note, at least AMC was able to use this ramp up to get rid of some debt and will be able to stay alive without government intervention. The watering down could be pressuring that stock a bit more today. Long term though, it's not worth what it's trading at, but it's not as likely to go belly up like Hertz any time soon.

    AMC said the conversion will result in the issuance of 44.4 million new shares. The conversion will reduce the company's debt by $600 million.

    The short squeezers are having a big day today. GME, as I mentioned in another post, was up 100% today, AMC up 18%, TLRY up 13%, EXPR up 43%.

    Interactive Brokers founder: Don’t short AMC, meme stocks — they can soar to ‘unimaginable highs’

    Short sellers should “resist the temptation” to bet against meme stocks like AMC Entertainment, Interactive Brokers’ Thomas Peterffy told CNBC on Monday.

    “These prices can go to unimaginable highs before they settle down to a reasonable valuation,” Peterffy said, warning that traders “may have to cover on the high point.”

    However, Peterffy said investors should not be long meme stocks either.
