Tupperware and Yellow have skyrocketed, but don’t confuse them with meme stocks: Trader

All eyes have been on shares of Tupperware Brands Corp. and Yellow Corp. in recent days as the stocks have soared despite a dearth of fresh news in the case of the former, and negative news in the case of the latter.

Shares of the beleaguered maker of iconic food-storage containers enjoyed a record 434% gain in July on no apparent news. Yellow’s YELL stock has also skyrocketed, despite reports that the trucking company is facing bankruptcy. Short selling of a stock occurs when an investor borrows shares and sells them immediately expecting the price to drop. The shares can then be repurchased and returned to the lender, with the investor pocketing the difference. Although sometimes vilified, short sellers are actually misunderstood, Robert Sloan, managing partner at financial analytics firm S3 Partners and author of “Don’t Blame the Shorts,” recently told MarketWatch.

“We have had the largest six-month increase in leverage on record , with a clear case of FOMO-the-MOMO [momentum] chase in full view as concentration risk in megacap tech forced a NASDAQ “SPECIAL REBALANCE” to ‘down-weight’ AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL etc.”Short covering occurs when a person with a short position buys back the shares, ending the short trade, and returns the shares to the seller. With this strategy, the short seller aims to cover after the share price falls and make a profit.

With regard to Yellow Corp. LaDuc attributes its recent stock movements to insider and Wall Street manipulation. “Low priced, low-float stocks are VERY easy to push around,” she told MarketWatch. Typically in a bankruptcy, shareholders are wiped out as creditors take control of the remaining assets. But those investors were rewarded when the company got a big capital injection and was able to resume trading on an exchange.
