$SPY still trading within ascending channelI was thinking last night that if SPY would open below $370, it would have would broken from trading inside the channel and start a possible downtrend. The bounce at the bottom the trendline held, but unless it breaks above $382 within the next week, I think bulls will start taking profits and look for a dip before continuing buying. Market has been strong, propped up as it may seem, but I can see the momentum changing to bearish once it breaks below $370.

Reddit army buying heavily shorted REV stockShares of REV were jumping again as a massive short squeeze on consumer stocks continued into its third day. The squeeze instigated by a group of traders on Gamestop has now spread to other heavily shorted stocks There was no news out on any of these three stocks today, and certainly nothing of the kind that would generate this kind of movement for fundamental reasons. Instead, traders on platforms like Reddit have figured out that they can take advantage of heavily shorted small-cap stocks if enough of them start buying them, and that's what's happened with REV stock. When a stock is shorted and starts to go up, short-sellers eventually have to buy back the shares or risk further losses, including a margin call forcing the repurchase. At Revlon, 31% of the stock's float was sold short as of the end of December. www.fool.com

at-the-market offering for up to $35,000,000On January 25, 2021, IZEA Worldwide, Inc. (the “Company”) launched an at-the-market offering (the “Offering”) for up to $35,000,000 worth of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, pursuant to an at the market (ATM) Sales Agreement, dated January 25, 2021, by and between the Company and National Securities Corporation. A copy of the ATM Sales Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated by reference herein. The Company has 54,526,583 shares of common stock outstanding as of January 25, 2021. Secondary stock offerings normally aren't a reason for shareholders to celebrate, but investors seem to see this one as a smart way for IZEA to raise cash it can use to fund additional growth efforts, as well as a validation of the stock's recent surge. The sale would dilute current shareholders by about 10%. In 2019, the company's revenue declined 6% to $19 million and it lost $7.3 million. If new products like Shake and its BrandGraph intelligence platform take off, the stock should have more room to run. www.sec.gov

GME Record Surge Gives Win to Reddit Army in Citron ClashGameStop Record Surge Gives Win to Reddit Army in Citron Clash In the battle between short-seller Citron Research and an army of Reddit-charged day traders, GameStop Corp.’s seemingly endless rally to an all-time high has given the stock’s bulls a win, though not without controversy. GameStop’s 75% gain through Friday comes after it more than doubled the week before and marks the most volatile 10-day period on record, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The stock was halted at least four times in New York as it surged as much as 79% to $76.76 as Reddit users ran wild. It was last 44% higher after trading resumed. At one point, the video-game retailer was the most actively traded U.S. company with a market value above $200 million, data compiled by Bloomberg show, as millions of shares exchanged hands every few minutes. GameStop representatives didn’t return an email seeking comment. Reddit users continued to pump up their bets with one user saying they relied on it to pay their student loans. GameStop’s parabolic rise, which has come amid steady and elevated short interest and increasing volume, has showcased the divide between retail bulls and bears betting on a quick return to reality. GameStop became a “cult stock because of Ryan Cohen’s success with Chewy” and retail investors “appear confident that he can implement omnichannel initiatives that will materially grow their earnings,” Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter said in an email. For the company to be worth $50 a share it would have to quickly double their growth, Pachter, who has a $16 price target which is the second highest among analyst tracked by Bloomberg, continued. In order to give GameStop credit for higher earnings power, Pachter, who rates the stock at neutral, wants to see Cohen’s strategy. A backlash against Citron by some vocal Reddit users over its views on GameStop came to a head on Friday when the short seller said it will stop commenting on the stock following the actions of “an angry mob.” “We are investors who put safety and family first and when we believe this has been compromised, it is our duty to walk away from a stock,” Citron managing partner Andrew Left wrote in a Friday letter. The statement came a day after Left said in a YouTube video that he’d “never seen such an exchange of ideas of people so angry about someone joining the other side of a trade,” referring in part to Reddit users who have been particularly vocal on the social media site in seeking to promote their positive opinions on the video-game retailer’s stock. GameStop fans clashed with Citron after the short seller critiqued shares in a tweet on Tuesday and made plans for a Twitter Inc. livestream the following day. The event was initially pushed back for the inauguration of President Joe Biden and then again on Thursday due to attempts to hack the short-seller’s Twitter account. credited the bulk of last week’s gains to a short squeeze after activist investor and Chewy Inc. co-founder Ryan Cohen was added to GameStop’s board. Bearish bets have remained steady with 140% of available GameStop shares currently sold short, according to data compiled by S3 Partners. Bears have seen more than $1.74 billion mark-to-market losses this year, according to the financial analytics firm. “While older existing shorts have been covering some of their positions due to a profit-loss based short squeeze, there is a queue of new short sellers wanting to get short exposure in GME after its recent run-up,” Ihor Dusaniwsky, S3’s managing director of predictive analytics, said by email.
