GameStop shares rallied more than 40% in premarket trading Monday after "Roaring Kitty," the man who inspired the epic short squeeze of 2021, posted online for the first time in roughly three years. Roaring Kitty, whose legal name is Keith Gill, is a former marketer for Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance. Currently, the short position in GameStop shares amounts to more than 24% of all its shares that are freely-available to trade, also known as the float. In response, one Robinhood user filed a class-action lawsuit following the app's decision to restrict GameStop trading on its platform. Another class-action lawsuit brought against Gill alleged that he pretended to be a novice trader despite being a licensed professional.

As a new meme frenzy unfolds in the market, traders are once again making bets in stocks with high levels of short interest. This activity could lead several companies to become the next targets of a short squeeze. A short squeeze happens when a stock price surges and forces those shorting the stock to purchase shares, or cover their shorts, to buy back stock and cut their losses. Another solar name, Maxeon Solar Technologies , has its short interest as a percent of float at about 45%. The Children's Place is another short squeeze target, as 70% of its floating shares are being sold short.

Between 2020 and 2021, he became one of the key internet personas who encouraged an army of day traders to heavily invest in GameStop, kicking off the "meme stock" frenzy. And in 2024, it appears that meme stocks are rallying again. Short sellers are individual investors or hedge funds who believe a certain stock's price will decline. If the stock price doesn't fall the way the short sellers anticipated, they can lose money, as happened with GameStop. Investors should also be wary of chasing meme stocks with the expectation of earning a profit.

The S & P 500 has risen nearly 10% in 2024 and has racked up twenty-two new all-time highs. Since I believe that this recent Fed-induced rally will stall, I want to be positioned to capture another potential pullback (even if shallow again). .SPX YTD mountain S & P 500 YTD Back in April, investors had very little interest in a string of U.S. Treasury auctions resulting in yields surging with the 10-year rate jumping to 4.7%. In the event you have long exposure to the S & P 500, this short call will serve as a hedge to that long exposure.

CNBC's Inside India newsletter: A disconnected stock market

CNBCThis report is from this week's CNBC's "Inside India" newsletter which brings you timely, insightful news and market commentary on the emerging powerhouse and the big businesses behind its meteoric rise. For local investors, Indian stocks would have underperformed the U.S. benchmark by more than 45 percentage points since Buffett's 2008 bet. It appears that India's near 8% GDP growth isn't transforming into stock market returns. But that has also meant significant competition for the incumbents, many of which are listed on the stock market. This year has also been particularly unlucky for Indian stock market investors thanks to the uncertainty added by politics.
