BLK closed at $1,066.12 on October 13, down 1.6% on the day and off 1.2% on the week, after the company reported Q3 earnings on October 14 and the stock's modest pre-earnings rally gave way to renewed selling. The…

BTC, the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust, heads into the week with a modest pullback from its recent highs and a borrow market that has quietly become far more expensive than it was a month ago. The price tells a mixed…
ETH, the Grayscale Ethereum Staking Mini ETF, has continued the retreat flagged in last week's note, with short interest now at its lowest level in the 30-day dataset and the borrow market effectively wide open. The…
GE Vernova heads into its October 28 earnings date with the stock off 2.4% on the week to $1,004, while analysts debate how much of the bull case is already priced in. The most active storyline this week has been on…
CRML enters this week with a borrow market so tight it is effectively closed, a short position that has grown by 15% in a month, and a stock that has lost 11% over the past week, making it one of the most charged…

AngloGold Ashanti heads into its November 5 earnings date with a 12% monthly decline behind it, a sudden burst of short-interest rebuilding, and options traders who have turned measurably less defensive than they were…
SFLO, the VictoryShares Small Cap Free Cash Flow ETF, enters mid-October with its short position dramatically smaller than it was a month ago, yet showing a sharp week-on-week jump that is worth parsing carefully. The…
Safehold enters its October 30 earnings print in a difficult spot. The stock has fallen 15% over the past month to $11.97, analysts are cutting targets across the board, and the Street's tone on the ground-lease model…

HF Sinclair has added another 12% this week to close at $128.23, extending a rally that has now left the consensus analyst price target firmly in the rear-view mirror. The stock's move to $128.23 puts it well above the…
