August 18: Neutral Markets Today

We discuss Corbus Pharmaceuticals stock trading action today. It was exciting over the past few days, and the large, million share bets sent the stock down from ~$0.30 to ~$0.215. Very risky moves, and looks like there was a big short again this morning of over 1 million shares.

We also see significant pre-market movement in Verizon $VZ lower.

Hallador Energy Corporation $HNRG is trading higher this morning, up to $7.00 per share.

Corporate bonds were lower yesterday and Mortgage Backed Securities lower today. Likely in part due to slight weakening of risk-free US Treasuries, and the rest is market / firm risk.

Markets looking flat today. Bond Yields not moving much. Recession fears seem to be abating.

Most industry sectors are mixed this morning. There is not a firm commitment of direction either way today.

Good luck to all! GLTA!
