SIEB Soars as Reddit Feed Targets Another Short SqueezeBrokerage Firm Siebert Soars as Reddit Feed Targets Another Short Squeeze
SIEB spiked Friday after the brokerage firm became the latest stock to attract the attention of ordinary investors prompted by a Reddit message board called WallStreetBets.
Siebert, which does retail brokerage business through its Muriel Siebert subsidiary, said that it has not released any news on Friday, Dow Jones reported.
WallStreetBets has been trying to collectively push shares of these companies higher in a bid to force hedge funds and other large investors to abandon their short positions -- bets that stock prices will decline -- in those companies.

SPY perspectives - two scenariosWe are moving into a more and more tight price action as we are in the end of the wedge now and with the rise of volumes we see some heighten activity in trading.
RSI and MACD divergence are still showing divergence with the price and RSI is almost below 50. MACD has a bearish crossing and the histogram is going negative.
Two possible scenarios are forming now. We have a bullish one that is currently forming as we've jumped from the internal support around 373 price zone.
Failing to continue the movement back inside the uptrend we may see a fall below 373 and move towards the first support zone at 360.
Why GSX stock soared? Short-sellers are getting squeezed.......The coronavirus is getting worse in China, and it's possible that investors believe that's a good thing for GSX.
GSX is a remote-education company in China, and its business grew substantially in 2020. And if COVID-19 gets worse in that country, it's possible 2021 will be another good year for this business.
According to The Associated Press, new coronavirus cases are causing the Chinese government to lock down two hospitals in Shanghai.
it appears investors might expect GSX Techedu's services will be in greater demand if the pandemic worsens in China.
This is further complicated by short interest in this stock. According to Yahoo! Finance, around half of the stock's float was sold short up until recently. If investors are buying shares over the last few days because of the news coming out of China, it could be causing a short squeeze, as short-sellers are forced to cover their bearish positions.
Over 22% of GSX stock is sold short, giving it a short interest ratio of almost 14 days (anything over seven days is considered a lot). While that indicates short-sellers are getting squeezed, or being forced to cover their positions at ever-higher prices, it's more just a phenomenon flooding the market at the moment.
the company is under fire from many popular short-sellers, who claim GSX Techedu is a fraud.
And the company has indeed admitted that it is under investigation from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). While that investigation is ongoing and it may turn out that everything is above board, this has caused a lot of people to actively bet against this stock.
The company faces the possibility of being delisted from major U.S. exchanges if the SEC finds wrongdoing. Therefore, it's important to approach a GSX Techedu investment fully aware of this risk.
Investors shouldn't be swayed by these price swings, and investors would be smart to sit on the sidelines until GSX Techedu sorts out the battle taking place between short-sellers and those long on its stock.

5 stocks with impressive moves for the week of 18.01-22.01.2021Making a different kind of post here as we had a really impressive week especially for a couple of stocks that caught the eye.
First starting with Luminar Technologies $LAZR. For some time this stock has been on the radar of investors and traders and there is a reason. Not only promising perspectives for the company but the presence of a symmetrical triangle. Volumes are low as the figure is still forming and Yesterday we closed with a slight breach of the figure. I would wait for further development of the price as the volume on Friday's push wasn't that impressive. But definitely keep watching that one.
Next up is NIO INC $NIO. The next promising company in the electric vehicles market. For some time it stayed quiet with low volumes during the formation of the symmetrical triangle. Activity picked up recently and the news from Friday that Nomura initiated a buy for the stock with a target of $80 really gave the price a boost. We are in continuation of the uptrend with currently no reason to pass this stock from your portfolio.
Moving on to Palantir Tech $PLTR. Impressive breakout of the triangle here as well. A stock that has been mentioned a lot this week and was on the watchlist of a lot of traders and investors. Strong push supported by volume not seen in December 2020. Complete full candle with even no attempt to sell the top. If you've missed this impulse you'd better wait for a correction, but this stock is starting to make a name for itself in early 2021.
Number four - FUBOTV INC $FUBO. The plans that were announced earlier in January for the company to acquire Vigtory really made an impact. The company rose 120% in the following days. That rise was then covered and we are in a consolidation, but volumes are talking about the strong activity. This is still hot, so keep an eye on the triangle as we are heading towards the upper resistance.
And lastly, but not least - Gamestop $GME. With multiple halts on Friday's session, this stock jumped 80%. Some would say that the flag before that was the omen, but the battle between retail, investors, and Citron Research raged on. 134 million shares were traded according to Bloomberg stats. A backlash against Citron by bulls over its views on the Grapevine came to a head-on Friday when the short seller said it will decline to comment on the stock following the actions of "an angry mob". Have in mind that a couple of days ago insider sales in GME saw big activity.
The stock market never ceases to amaze me... Thrilling action to tease your eyes and to temper with your nerves.
