Short Squeeze And Gap Fill To Come - GME, AMC, EXPR, OTRK, KOSS, LIVE

Meme stocks and short squeeze candidates remain bullish after today. The star of the show today was OTRK which went up 17% to $35.18. This was the highest close it has had since its big gap down on March 1. Short interest data pulled from Yahoo Finance was updated for numbers up to the end of February:

These stats are posted exactly as is from Yahoo Finance and we're aware that the short % doesn't equate to the short interest divided by float. GME remains the top target, though its short interest as a percentage of the float did decrease from 60% to 52%. OTRK's increased slightly to 32% from 30% and remains the second highest shorted stock of the six. KOSS' short interest doubled to 21% so that's another one to watch. 

A chart of OTRK's recent performance really outlines its short squeeze and gap fill potential:




 













The stock has a white candlestick extending well above the highs of the gap down made on March 1. This is really important because now it's in the zone where it can fill that gap quickly. The stock lost as much as it did that day after news of it losing its largest client, but financial results released earlier this week are being very well received by the market, with many thinking it can overcome this loss and still see strong growth going forward. 

LIVE remains a dark horse play. The short interest is low, but it doesn't really need short interest because of its extremely small float of only 1.27 million shares. KOSS has generally had a low short interest but that didn't stop the stock from running to over $100 from $10. LIVE's float is less than half of KOSS. Also LIVE is the only one in the group that has earnings and a P/E ratio. Most P/E ratios are around 20 so LIVE being at only 6 makes the stock nearly four times undervalued. We think it can reach $100 to come more in line with average P/E ratio numbers.

Carvana: The Gamma Squeeze is Real, Time to Bankrupt Kerrisdale

Image
Heavily shorted Carvana Co. (CVNA) is in the middle of a squeeze. One that looks eerily similar to the beginnings of the one we saw on GME that eventually made it run to $400 and took down Melvin Capital. Once again certain market players or commentators who focus on fundamentals and who misunderstand or downplay the short squeeze thesis will only add fuel to the fire as they short the stock. Will Carvana be able to refinance its debts next year? Will it become profitable by then? Who knows, and who cares. 2024 isn't the timeline here. The timeline starts as early as June 16, 2023. Triple witching day on options. This time Kerrisdale Capital is the target. The firm is in a desperate spot because the last short call it made was C3.ai, Inc. (AI). AI is in the middle of its own short squeeze and has nearly doubled into $40's since Kerrisdale tried taking it down: The AI report is still featured alongside on the CVNA one on Kerrisdale's website , so we can assume this position

The Next NVDA-Backed Runner and New Asian IPO Squeeze Play

Image
We have seen stocks like Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI) and SoundHound AI, Inc. (SOUN) have incredible squeeze runs thanks to their connection to NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA). We think the next one will be Spire Global, Inc. (SPIR), which popped a week ago after it announced a collaboration with NVDA to enhance AI-driven weather prediction. A few day later it dropped on the announcement of a financing at $14, with the potential to raise $61 million if warrants at $14.50 are exercised. We think there is a good chance that NVDA got in on this financing, as it tends to invest in the companies it does these deals with when spreading AI across different sectors. One such recent example was with Recursion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (RXRX) for AI in drug development.  It looks like SPIR didn't really need this financing as it has enough cash and looks like it will be cash flow and net income positive in 2024. This financing was of a strategic nature, not something led by brokers to fund a com

CVNA Squeezing, ROOT and RXRX are Next

Image
Earlier today we stated that Root, Inc. (ROOT) and Recursion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (RXRX) were next to squeeze after Carvana (CVNA). One month ago  we mentioned  the gamma squeeze potential on CVNA. Now that this is at hand and the stock has more than doubled, it's time to go long on two other heavily shorted stocks that stand to benefit from the CVNA squeeze as desperate shorts have to cover.  The strategy worked perfectly as ROOT increased 19% and RXRX increased 16% on the day while CVNA rose another 40%. This will be just the beginning as shorts are hemorrhaging on multiple related positions. If you look at the chart for the day, it becomes very clear how highly correlated these three stocks are right now. This is undeniably a sign that shorts, particularly algo HFT shorts are covering simultaneously held positions.  CVNA  made a $126 million investment  into ROOT and has embedded its insurance program into its systems. So any improvement in financial performance on CVNA implie
