Investor Carson Block says he s had to trade more frequently to fight the risk of short squeezes.
Block says more investors are making trading decisions based on technical, not fundamental, factors.
He says that means he has to be willing to take losses and try again.
Short-sellers faced a new reality the last few weeks as retail squeezes became a threat they could no longer ignore.
A saying sometimes attributed to the famous economist John Maynard Keynes warns investors, Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. If big investors needed a reminder of that idea, they got one in the past few weeks as hedge funds were squeezed out of short positions in the likes of GameStop.
Rates are rising as investors forecast economic recovery, but what does this mean for equity markets? Goldman Sachs unveil the 26 stocks to buy for the rebound, even if interest rates stay low.
Markets have been in a deflationary environment since the 2009 global financial crisis.
Inflation expectations are picking up, with the US breakeven inflation rate up 2.25% this week.
These are some of the material changes in markets investors need to know, Goldman Sachs says.
Inflation is heating up for the first time in a long time which should largely boost equities, but could have a sting in its tail for those who ignore the changes it could bring.
After 2020 s event-driven recession , there is a bull market underway across equities and the psychology behind it is one in which investors are moving out of the hope phase into the longer growth phase, according to Goldman Sachs, and this suggests a possible inflection point towards a more reflationary environment.
