Jefferies says these 20 heavily shorted and lightly traded stocks could see big jumps in the event of a GameStop-like squeeze

that hedge funds had bet against and the stratospheric price rises triggered multi-billion dollar losses for a number of big investment houses.

"In football, targeting gets you ejected, while in today's market, some cheer you on," strategists at Jefferies said in a note."Picking on the shorts is nothing new."

Phillip Morris stole the patent for IQOS and are being sued by HCMC. the court date is 26th February. Want to see the corrupt and greedy win again? it’s not about money anymore it’s about fighting a corrupt system that fucked us for too long!

We like the stonk GME 💎🤲🏻

They’re up.
