Short-squeezes have been making headlines in stock trading as an increasingly popular phenomenon. A short squeeze occurs when investors who have bet against a company’s stock (by “shorting” it) are forced to buy back their shares to cut their losses. This sudden buying activity can lead to a surge in the stock’s price, causing a

It’s been a bumpy and volatile week, and that’s no surprise when you look at the economic schedule. Amid all of the headlines, investors are looking at the hot stocks for tomorrow.

Last week, I wrote that Troika Media (NASDAQ:TRKA) might be one of the most mispriced penny stocks of the year. The advertising firm’s fundamentals… and completely misunderstood balance sheet… meant that retail investors had likely found a 1,000% winner.
