In Tuesday’s Blitz Daily, we’ll take a look at online gaming company Skillz as bullish meme stock investors again put pressure on short sellers.
Just when the bears and the media thought the ape army had left Skillz Inc. (NYSE: SKLZ) for dead in the Meme Stonk Wars of 2021, the bulls came back Tuesday afternoon to squeeze the stock and bleed the hedgies.
While other highly shorted meme stocks like AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (NYSE: AMC) and GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME) largely maintained or grew their new valuations in 2021, SKLZ was not as fortunate. Share prices for the esports company declined steadily from its record highs in the February squeeze. But retail investors and their short-busting institutional allies are hoping that might change, starting Tuesday.
The bulls hit the options in a big way late Tuesday, helping shares rally more than 13% on the day. More specifically, buyers hammered on the September monthly $12 strike calls, with over 17,400 contracts traded.
The bulls may not win this war, but there’s no denying they can take a battle here and there. The stock has seen several short-lived rallies, so be nimble and trade small if you decide to take a side.
And as fun as the meme trading shenanigans are to discuss, I have two more names seeing massive order flow that traders need to put their eyes on — including one of the strongest charts I’ve seen this year so far…
