GameStop Soars With Activist Ryan Cohen Gaining Board SeatsGameStop Soars With Activist Ryan Cohen Gaining Board Seats GameStop Corp. jumped after activist investor Ryan Cohen stepped up his transformation efforts at the struggling video-game retailer, gaining a seat on the company’s board along with two allies. Cohen’s RC Ventures -- GameStop’s second-largest shareholder, with a 13% stake -- has been pressing the Grapevine, Texas-based chain to undertake a strategic review to cut more costs. Cohen, the entrepreneur who helped build up the Chewy pet-supply site, also wants GameStop to increase the variety of products and services it offers online. “We are excited to bring our customer-obsessed mindset and technology experience to GameStop and its strategic assets,” Cohen said in a statement Monday. The stock rocketed up 210% last year on hopes that it would benefit from the release of new video-game consoles. GameStop lost some ground in early December after reporting third-quarter sales that missed estimates and announcing plans to sell more stock, but it rebounded toward the year’s end. Along with Cohen, Alan Attal and Jim Grube are joining the GameStop board. Both men worked with Cohen at Chewy. That news seemed to overshadowed a disappointing holiday sales release from GameStop, GameStop reported a 4.8% year-over-year increase in comparable-store sales for the nine-week holiday period ended Jan. 2. Coronavirus-related losses of store traffic knocked a high-single-digit to low-double-digit percentage off those sales, the company said, and net sales dropped 3.1% to $1.77 billion. finance.yahoo.com GameStop CEO George Sherman said in the news release that “together, we have reached an outcome that is in the best interest of all stockholders and can enable GameStop to accelerate efforts to deliver enhanced value for the company.” Excitement that Cohen can help turn things around was compounded by the stock’s high short interest, estimated at about 58% of shares available for trading, according to data from S3 Partners. That’s left the stock primed for a short squeeze. But the rise of digital game downloads amid declining earnings necessitate a bold new strategy. www.barrons.com

Hold or fold? #stocksNot sure if it was the Adelson news but LVS is the biggest loser in my portfolio today and is approaching a key level that will determine my next move. I was playing for a breakout above the range (rectangle) above 56. The stock held the highs of the range for over a month but has now slipped back into the range and is approaching the line in the sand at 53. If the stock can stay above 53 then I will stay at the slot machine a little longer and hope for some better performance over the coming days and weeks. Below 53 will force me out and I will have to re-evaluate my next move.

The power of patience I bought intel on a reversal trade at 47.05 in late November. The trade started of well with a big surge in early December only to give up all the gains by December 21. I stuck with the trade though because the broader reversal play back into the range was still intact- price held above the lows of 43. By the beginning of January the gains returned and on the news this morning the stock has now broken out the top end of the range near 60. As long as the stock can hold 55 now that its up here there should be clear skies ahead.

VOXX posted fantastic strong third-quarter resultsVOXX International Corporation Reports Its Fiscal 2021 Third Quarter Financial Results The entertainment systems specialist posted fantastic third-quarter results. The maker of consumer electronics and automotive entertainment systems saw third-quarter sales rise 83% year over year to $201 million. Earnings jumped from $0.10 to $0.74 per share . Your average Wall Street analyst would have settled for earnings near $0.02 per share on revenue in the vicinity of $113 million. Consumer electronics sales rose 74% to $80 million , driven by high consumer interest in premium audio products. A new distribution deal with Onkyo and Pioneer also contributed to this segment's rapid rise. In the automotive electronics division, Voxx saw sales jump 105% higher to land at $62 million . This increase was powered by the recent acquisitions of Vehicle Safety Holdings and Directed Electronics Canada, with an assist from rear-seat entertainment systems and aftermarket security products. The fledgling biosecurity segment posted sales of $300,000 as car makers started to take delivery of iris authentication systems from EyeLock, a Voxx subsidiary. Voxx CEO Pat Lavelle expects demand for the EyeLock iris-scanning security tools to rise exponentially. The stock trades at multi-year highs today with the backing of healthy financial results. Growth investors should keep an eye on this exploding turnaround story. www.fool.com

TakeTwo maybe taking a break #stocksDespite having a bullish bias in the overall market, I will always look for potential short opportunities to offset long equity exposure. TTWO looks like it might be a decent reversal play to the downside after breaking the uptrend line that comes from the previous range breakout. I am not bearish on he company or the video game sector, but there is always sector rotation and this stock could be a victim in the near term. It was definitely a COVID play but as vaccines are being distrusted, there could be a little less demand at the margin for video games even if the secular trend is still positive. Not sure if we will retest the range high and I am not sure if I want to hold the short into earnings but to sell here with a stop above the highs at 212 might be a trade worth taking

Trimming NFLX here #stocksAlong with others in big tech like amzn, adbe, msft, and facebook, netflix has lagged the sp500 since May. The divergence has widened in the recent weeks enough to make me cut my position in half. We are still above the yearly moving average and above the range (rectangle) lows but most of the gains from the position put on in late November have evaporated and I don't want to see this position turn into a loser. Not sure what the reason for the divergence from the overall market is (maybe its yields- higher rates could lead to lower p/e ratios, maybe its competition) but price is telling me the only story that matters.

Losing friends #stocksFacebook is being cut from the portfolio today after breaking below range lows. The stock has been an underperformer since I bought it in the November and I am not going to wait around for it to get its act together. If we can get back over 275 and the downward trendline I will reconsider but for now the stock is a no touch. The twitter news is bad for twitter based on the price action today but I think it is equally bad for Facebook. Both are going to have to try to balance free speech with disinformation and I am not sure if either have the answers.

Why Qudian Stock Popped higher in 2021?Why Qudian Stock Popped higher in 2021? On Dec 30, 2020 in Brussels, European Union negotiators finalized the terms of a historic investment agreement with China. Seven years in the making, the new Comprehensive Agreement on Investment is expected to grow international trade between the EU and China, facilitate cross-border investment, and "strongly stimulate" the economies of both nations, according to Chinese president Xi Jinping. CNN highlighted the financial services sector, electric vehicles, and healthcare as three areas of the Chinese economy likely to benefit especially from the trade accord. Don't expect to see immediate benefits for Qudian Stock, however. Just because negotiators have signed the deal doesn't mean that their respective legislatures will ratify it, and the Comprehensive Agreement can't go into effect before that happens. According to FT, EU officials are targeting an effective date for the agreement no earlier than 2022. www.fool.com

Bakkt Expected to Go Public via Reverse-Merger with VPCBakkt Expected to Go Public via Reverse-Merger with VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings In a move which is expected to be announced in the coming days/weeks, digital asset service provider ‘Bakkt’ is said to be finalizing a merger with VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings (VPC). The move, first reported by Bloomberg, is believed to be in its final stages. If completed it would be what is known as a ‘reverse merger’. For a company such as Bakkt, which has already raised hundreds of millions from existing investors, why is such a merger necessary? Simply put – it is often a cheaper and quicker way for a company to go public, as opposed to hosting its own IPO. These benefits are the sole reason VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings hosted its own IPO months ago. The company was created with the purpose and intent to go public, and subsequently be acquired by a promising company, such as Bakkt. At the time of its IPO, the company stated, Bloomberg notes in its report that insiders with knowledge on the matter believe that post-merger, the companies will see a valuation of roughly $2 billion USD. Dating back to mid-2018, Bakkt, was one of the most anticipated platforms geared to enter blockchain industry. While the company has come a long way since – becoming a popular service provider for BTC futures – it has experienced various hiccups along the way. Not only have multiple of the platforms expected services been delayed, but it has lost multiple CEO’s since its founding. Hopefully, between the increasing popularity of the digital asset industry itself, increasing volumes of its custodial and futures services, and upcoming loyalty spending program, these struggles are a thing of the past for Bakkt.

Bitcoin Sets Its Sights beyond $40,000, Boosting XNET stockBitcoin Sets Its Sights beyond $40,000, Boosting XNET stock higher As has often been the case for much of the past couple of months, when bitcoin rises, a handful of stocks also perform well, including XNET stock. On Wednesday evening, the combined capitalization of the entire cryptocurrency market surpassed $1 trillion for the first time, according to CoinDesk. Cryptocurrency stocks continue to see outsize trading volume, leading to high volatility, as bitcoin and other alt-coins keep pushing to new highs. Investors should keep in mind that many cryptocurrency stocks are penny stocks and incredibly easy for traders to manipulate. Xunlei is surging by a ludicrous amount today and there's no fundamental reason to explain the move. But the stock's trading volume is almost 44 million, according to Yahoo! Finance, rivaling that of some of the largest publicly traded companies. Xunlei's move today is reminiscent of the surge Bit Digital had during the past week. The stock more than doubled in just a couple of days but is losing steam now that the pump is over. Herein lies the problem with stocks surging on trading volume that's out of sync with business fundamentals: There's no way to tell when the music is going to end. That's true of Xunlei and Bit Digital stocks, but also others like Marathon, Riot Blockchain, and Canaan. These three now have market caps over $1 billion each, trading with price-to-sales ratios in the hundreds.

Essentially debt-free now, and free to focus on its two core 3D printer making businesses (industrial and healthcare), the company also noted that in addition to the better-than-expected sales, it is likely to report anywhere from $11 million to $19 million in pro forma profit for Q4. Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) results could still be as bad as an $8.6 million loss, but there's at least the possibility that 3D will eke out a GAAP profit of as much as $0.5 million this quarter. finance.yahoo.com
