The Best Performing Stocks of 2021 YTD

The Best Performing Stocks of 2021 YTD

January 27, 2021 - 9:25 am

It's no surprise that the craziness continues today with new stocks getting a boost from retail buyers piling into them, and hedge funds that were short the names getting squeezed, and as we've heard today some are closing their net short positions entirely such as on GameStop. The interesting thing is that many of the companies moving higher today by large percentages not only have no news on them, but they aren't small-caps and the move is significant in their market caps.

We don't believe this will last and many of these companies will fall as quickly as they rise, and as you saw earlier this morning we put an option trade on Tootsie Roll in line with this view.
