The sideways chop continues in the major indexes. As I said yesterday – it’s an extremely frustrating market for “S&P 500 or Nasdaq only” investors…
Hedge Funds Are Trapped Again | 3 Potential Short Squeeze Stocks
Right now, I'm tracking three specific stocks setting up for potential short squeezes. These companies have that perfect combination: a lot of shares sold short and a stock price that keeps making new highs.
An Extremely Frustrating Market
It’s got to be maddening to be an “S&P 500 only” index investor right now: the S&P has been stuck near its late-October highs, yet we’ve had a nearly unbroken run of net new highs with hundreds of stocks hitting fresh peaks, and about two-thirds of S&P 500 names outperforming the index. That’s rotation—mega-cap tech has cooled off and pulled the cap-weighted benchmark sideways, even while the “average” stock across large-, mid-, and small-caps keeps pushing higher. The key distinction is to not confuse the “stock market” with the “market of stocks”: the index is driven by a few giants, but the real opportunity is often in the broader list of stocks quietly making new highs underneath.

Most Traders Can’t Answer This Question
Nothing on the economic menu today – just a host of Fed speeches. This week though, we’ll finally get the official U.S. employment report on Wednesday, followed by the CPI report on Friday.
Bitcoin Is Setting Up the Same Move That Made Millions Before
Last week, Bitcoin hit that $60,000 target. It's rebounding fast, and while it's technically possible for the price to go straight up from here, I wouldn't count on it. If you've been waiting for a good time to buy, this is that time—but you need to understand the specific price structure forming...
Is the Market Bottom Over?
After days of fairly heavy selling, the S&P 500 posted its best day since November last Friday. Net new highs surged and there were 1,664 more stocks advancing than declining. The question is – was Thursday the near term bottom?
Do This During Selloffs
Yesterday, U.S. job openings came in at 6.5 million – far below the expected 7.1 million. The official unemployment rate numbers have been pushed back to next Wednesday. We also got some preliminary consumer sentiment numbers – which unexpectedly rose.
