💸 GameStop Squeeze Hits Round 2?

Good morning. On Wednesday, shares of retail trader favorite GameStop (GME) managed to jump..
It's the monthly jobs numbers today and they're not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May.

Good morning. On Wednesday, shares of retail trader favorite GameStop (GME) managed to jump triple-digits higher. And the trend continued with a 19 percent rally on Thursday, even as both days saw halts in trading for the stock. Some are pointing out that shares never really got back under $40, and that those with short positions hoping to outwait retail traders have been unable to wait, potentially pushing shares higher.

The move in GME led to other retail names seeing some tremendous volatility both up and down. Once again, it appears that funds short GameStop may have to liquidate other positions, which may explain some of the market's recent volatility.

This Energy Tech Play is Getting Crushed After Earnings, But Will Likely Bounce Back
Earnings season continues to offer traders a number of new buying opportunities in great names. That's even the case when a company declines due to technical reasons rather than fundamental ones.

Take the case of Plug Power (PLUG). The company sold off following an earnings miss. The miss occurred as the company recognized charges from the vesting of warrants. The warrants vested faster than expected in part due to the rising stock price.

10 Year Treasury Yields Hit One Year High

Rising to 1.49 percent, 10-year Treasury yields now sit at a one-year high. The move occurs as the government continues to go into debt at a faster rate than central banks can buy it up. Private sector buyers are holding out for higher yields, given possible inflation fears, and this rate now puts the 10-year on par with the dividend yield from the S&P 500 Index.

Quote of the Day
To be sure, if bond yields continue to rise and there is a smooth rotation out of growth and defensive stocks into value and cyclical stocks, the Fed will remain sanguine. But the risk is growing that with so many bubbles blown by the Fed something will burst soon.
- Albert Edwards of Societe Generale, on why rising bond yields could lead to a simple market rotation that still allows the overall market to head higher. Or, in a worst-case scenario, rising bond yields could end up bursting the recovery in stocks in the past year.
