Heat maps for today, my friends. The overall market was mostly green today, recovering from the bloodbath. Exception in the SHF holdings is $BABA. And of course, crypt0 took a hit.

GME/AMC/KOSS and other shorted stocks made a solid rally today midday. Not sure what it means, but it is provocative. You might say it gets the people going, even. And Marketwatch can publish BS pieces about how "the squeeze is over now". But it's not, we know that, just a warm-up of the engines for liftoff to Andromeda.

Gandalf has had enough of this naked shorting

I think this is what happens when someone's looking over their shoulder (i.e. liquidity test) and they can't run all their usual games. Plus, the market's been red for 3 days, so they might have thought it wise to lay off selling for a day, let all the 'dumb money' pile back in on 'the dip' and pull the prices back up.

I suspect they'll start selling another industry or vertical tomorrow. My money is on healthcare/pharma, as they can use some COVID news to cover it. Except all my money is in GME, so... yeah, all of it. I'm trying to figure out how much food I need until next payday so I can buy another share, so no betting on other sectors right now for me.

Citadel

Looks like they laid off selling today

EXPE bounced back hard

Susquehanna (SIG)

BABA really does stand out

Shorted Victim Tickers

Now that is green! ELECTRIC GREEN! mmm baby!

As always, drop me a comment if you have an idea for improving these or another set of tickers that would be interesting to follow. I'm looking forward to the 5/17 updates to 13Fs and am thinking about scaling the rectangles based on their ownership rather than absolute total market cap. That might take a more wrinkly brained ape in thinkorswim scripting though.
