folks major breaking news here uh two of
[2]
the apes favorite stocks are absolutely
[5]
on fire just had a great conversation
[7]
with katie stockton about technicals the
[9]
50-day moving average game stop up 22
[13]
piercing its 50-day moving average
[15]
picking up momentum right now amc up 16
[18]
right at its 50-day moving average a
[21]
continued move from here certainly could
[22]
mean a lot more momentum wow two big big
[26]
moves you know what i gotta tell you it
[28]
fits perfectly with it's been a great
[29]
day for best buy and this is a
[31]
cautionary tale but everyone i want you
[33]
to listen to this because it crushed
[35]
wall street consensus they reported they
[37]
offered more robust guidance than anyone
[39]
expected this company by the way
[41]
continues to confound the experts and i
[43]
think it is a great example that
[45]
so-called smart money well let's just
[47]
face it they don't know everything right
[48]
remember when everyone said that this
[51]
company was only a showroom it was
[52]
doomed it was going to go out of
[54]
business i want you to check out this
[56]
article from reuters it's january 20th
[58]
2014 headline insight short set to
[62]
pounce as stock scene pricey fed pulls
[65]
back well jim channels president and
[66]
founder of
[67]
of his own firm one of the most
[69]
prominent shorts out there said that the
[70]
market is primed for people like him he
[73]
added that now i think it's not a bad
[75]
time to be raising capital for what we
[77]
do uh and when critics view me like the
[80]
village idiot and not an evil genius the
[83]
article went on to mention best as a
[85]
potential short best buy company shares
[87]
suffered their worst day in 11 years on
[89]
thursday falling almost 30 percent after
[92]
disappointing sales undermined the
[93]
bullet's thesis that helped the stock
[95]
triple in 2013 and it fell further on
[98]
friday well guess what since then that
[100]
stock is up more than 400 percent
[103]
remember in january this year the world
[105]
learned of the power and growing
[106]
sophistication of a new breed of
[108]
individual investors using resources
[111]
that were only available to the industry
[113]
they've learned to educate themselves
[114]
and they've learned to articulate what
[116]
they've learned with others they have
[118]
flipped the script on the hedge funds
[119]
and well
[120]
remember the hedge funds they were
[122]
always able just to beat stocks that
[124]
were abandoned to smithereens there was
[125]
never any opposition i happen to be
[127]
writing shotgun when all of this is
[129]
going on in fact i didn't even know the
[131]
power or the smarts that were evolving
[133]
on the reddit platform and other
[135]
platforms i just happened to have been
[136]
involved in short squeezes on and off
[138]
for the past 30 years and it was clear
[140]
to me that the shorts were being hit by
[142]
a brand new more powerful force i had a
[145]
number of high-risk positions in my own
[147]
portfolio they did extraordinarily well
[149]
i shared ideas from my paid subscribers
[151]
many of those weren't parabolic now now
[153]
here's the deal folks short squeeze
[155]
squeezes go way back
[157]
uh and just as far as shorting goes back
[160]
one of the most famous was in 1923
[162]
piggly wiggly
[164]
and i think by the way this serves as a
[166]
cautionary tell on how the system always
[168]
takes aside of institutions their
[170]
founder a guy named clarence saunders he
[172]
took the company public and then the
[174]
shorts pounced right well this guy he
[176]
was he was a fighter right he fought
[178]
back he elicited fame trader jesse
[180]
livermore
[181]
and guess what it was the ultimate short
[183]
squeeze a stock rocketed higher but then
[186]
livermore moved on and the nyse changed
[189]
the rules to save the shorts that's
[192]
right some things never change now
[195]
lately heavily shorted stocks have sort
[196]
of drifted a little bit lower especially
[198]
some of these retail investor names as
[200]
you can see by today's action and amc
[202]
and gamestop that's starting to change
[204]
short interest for certain names uh
[206]
they've begun to hit edge a little bit
[208]
higher by the way if you want these
[210]
short positions to go higher because you
[211]
want someone to squeeze uh and then the
[214]
more compelling short names are really
[216]
starting to do pretty well i've got two
[218]
names on my radar i want to share with
[219]
you big five sporting goods and blink
[221]
the eevee battery play i think they're
[223]
both the most intriguing heavily shorter
[225]
players right now that aren't
[226]
necessarily being played by the apes by
[229]
the way congratulations the lessons from
[230]
best buy is that companies do learn how
[233]
to adapt they learn how to stay alive
[235]
and then they learn how to thrive now of
[236]
course nothing is guaranteed and these
[239]
sort of ideas do carry a higher degree
[241]
of risk by the same token i've said it
[243]
before i'll say it again the so-called
[245]
smart money what they do is not
[247]
guaranteed to always be right either so
[250]
what what i'm reminded and what really
[252]
inspires me with the investing apes is
[254]
that you guys have taken control of your
[256]
lives you want to change your life so i
[259]
say you know what find your own way
[261]
chart a new path break the unfair rules
[263]
live and learn but never never give up
[266]
on the stock market
