The Squeeze Continues... "Most Shorted" Stocks Are Screaming Higher
Yesterday we noted the dramatic squeeze of the "most shorted" stocks as they outperformed the broad market five-fold. The rout continues to gather pace as this morning sees the "most shorted" index soaring back near last week's highs and up almost 8% from Wednesday's lows.
"most shorted" stocks are ripping higher off last week's lows...
But this week has seen the real pressure applied...

Rigging that would make Vegas casinos blush
Being in the market at this time is a cross between having your balls in a pneumatic vice and a sword hanging over your head.
How do you jump?

Of corse, Gold, the most shorted of all asset classes, alone is NOT being bid. Wonder why?? Answers please on a postcard to Mr Yellin.
"Most shorted" as in most shorted by hedge funds. Schadenfreude is so sweet.

Once the most sharted stocks start screaming higher we may finally see a change.
The word sharted always makes me laugh.
First you shart, then you scream: "HIGHER!"
;-)
to me it seems its the HFTs.....if you know the amount of shorts on a stock..and its high..just get the momentum going up and that is all you need to do to ride the wave.....
it's beyond rigging when everyone knows it's rigging...it's become an outright fraud!
The Ark of the Cov-Light Loan has been opened and all the shorts sellers' faces melted off.
Unless you are really really good or just lucky, shorting these broken markets is a death wish.
well... it does feel like somebody pulled my spline from of my back...
Why fucking short it when the fed has made it so easy? Take advantage of the free money then buy PMs with your profits. We all know where this thing is going eventually. Might as well make the best of it.
True Doc...part of what I'm doing...taking profits and buying PM's...just bought MOAR silver coins today with some.......but also...
Nibbling on the shorts...a little here..a little there....building..not fucking timing...I don't know how the day traders can stomach this shite....
Lastly....FUCK YOU EVERYONE AT THE GOD DAMNED FEDERAL CRIMINAL RESERVE, YOU LYING PRICKS!

Egg-xactly...
Besides, I like this Maytag...
Works for me..

hedge funds getting kicked in the balls again i presume
Scotch - breakfast of champions
there is no recovery from this failure when it comes as they always do as "freeze to death Nation" gets in full swing.
Gonna have snow tomorrow no less.
"Blizzard in May" even better.
Need to get those water levels up so we can drive all those nukers out of business.
Don't even get me started on wind turbines. Talk about a banner year.
this is important to watch.

But, but....inflation is really subdued according to the MSM!
I've been watching that one since you pointed it out to me. The one month chart is flat, but the damage has been done already with that 15% move.
Sorta related, but Oil got hammerd down a buck-fiddy today. Could just be options expiration movement, but it's retraced all recent gains.

"Nobody wants us to be Cuba." So, nothing to worry about.
Old Yeller suckers them in every time. The DAX has had a good run, time to take a little currency off the table.
Yep... use taxmoney to squeeze out Joe little average investors...
makes perfect sense...
man... these are billion dollar fixes for a few short moments so the banks can steal billions from the average investor and when those are squeezed out, they drop the market to kill the other side.
This market is so busted it's unbelievable... It's all just one rigged casino build so only the banks win.
Banks get 100% profitable trading days, retail gets zero profitable trading days.
It's a killing joke what we still dare to call free economy.
FU Soros.
Here is a little MSM wisdom...
Worried higher gas prices could ruin the rally? Here's why you shouldn't

key excerpt:
“Gasoline prices act as a tax on the consumer, so higher gas prices will eventually impact consumer demand, but that doesn't necessarily feed through to stock prices,” said Enis Taner of Riskreversal.com. Stock prices have risen in spite of a weak macroeconomic backdrop in the U.S. for years now. “If and when stocks do fall, it is not likely to be due to macroeconomic factors like gas prices.”
Great job, Fed. You have fostered an environment where macroeconomic data is simply deemed irrelevant re. equity prices.
FedFUBAR.
Of course macroeconomic data is irrelevant, because the macroeconomy is that of the masses, who are getting shafted each and every day. The stock market is concerned only with the people who own stock, the 1% currently, but edging toward the 0.1%. THEIR economy is doing terrific and getting better each and every day. So it is no surprise that the market goes up.
They are most shorted for a reason...fundamentals. But, those don't apply any more. Its feeding time at the zoo again...
Markets are controlled by algorithms. Pointless to fight them - its like competing against a petaflop chess computer. Sure, you might take a pawn every now and then, after a while youll get smashed - no matter how smart your strategy might be.
Take the pawn and run.
I think these 'shorts' are the Fed itself....why not it doesn't cost them a dime to take a bunch of shot posions and then squeeze themselves to make their bullshit indexes go higher.
Look man, you had a chance to buy the dip before we pushed past 1900. Now its time to panic buy the all time highs again.
fuck face you were super tard bullish at 1895, so still red by alot
I bought the dip and I bought the all time high and I just keep buying. I'm almost 300% high and about 30% short. If I could get my broker to play along, I'd be 400% long and 40% short, or maybe 500 and 50.
Yes the market is rigged. So you don't want a part of that?
The market cap of the S&P is up $580B in the last week. +10B from the FED. +$22B from income after expences. Where's the other +$548B coming from?
Of course its rigged. Far too much of the newly printed money is in the market. The Government can't let it evaporate via a market decline. Quite the contrary, the new money is growing at near breakneck speed. Don't tell anyone... this is the real agenda.
