Expedia CEO: We’re seeing plenty of signs of demandWe’re seeing plenty of signs of demand:’ Expedia CEO on travel demand amid pandemic.
As we said yesterday on our earnings, we are seeing some signs of improvement in the first month of the year. It started around the holidays. And we've been slowly modestly improving from there. January was better than December.
It's kind of a story of waiting. And there are some countries like the US that are stronger, where people are moving around more. There are areas in Asia as well. And then there are places like Europe, where things are still fairly locked down.
So it's really where people are feeling more confident about travel, where people are allowed to travel. We're certainly seeing plenty of signs of demand. It's just a question of consumer confidence and risk tolerance and what governments are allowing people to do.

$SOS Blockchain PlaySOS Limited (NYSE:SOS) stock is up more than 70% from yesterday with 2 specific catalyst :
1. SOS stock was up in trading on Tuesday, Feb. 9 after receiving 5,000 cryptocurrency mining computers ahead of the scheduled delivery date. This is part of the company’s wider plans in blockchain and cryptocurrency, part of which includes capturing “the rising cryptocurrency price.
2. The company also announced on Tuesday the exercise of nearly 24 million American Depository Shares (ADSs) for gross proceeds of approximately $48 million. The company said proceeds from that offering would go to developing the cryptocurrency segment of the business, plus working capital and general corporate use.
These SOS-specific catalysts come against a background of increased investing interest in cryptocurrencies, both from large-scale institutional players and from individual retail investors.

Uranium (URA) To All-Time High After reducing my crypto risk and securing profit, I decided to add a small URA position. This is a long term swing trade opportunity, similar to the opportunity I saw in GME (which I regrettably didn't take). However, I DID post about it, and why I thought a short squeeze was possible. I thought it could squeeze to ATH , but I wasn't aware of what was happening with the Reddit community around the stock. Here is my GME analysis from October:
This trade is ultimately targeting all-time high for URA. Why? I'm hedging against the future here. A couple of things could drive Uranium price higher. Both can happen.
1)Demand for alternatives to fossil fuels and gas --- nuclear is one of them, and it has gotten much safer in the decade since the Fukushima disaster.
2) Economic collapse. This could cause war and a scrounging for resources that can be used for energy.
As I mentioned, this is a small position. I have bought twice recently, with an average price of $15.49. I'm building for a long-term swing trade. The technical setup is also looking very good. It looks like a failed low and a long term breakout from some major downtrends. Potential targets are in green.

Why ATA Creativity Skyrocketed 951% yesterdayWhy ATA Creativity Skyrocketed 951% yesterday
There does not appear to be any direct news from the company. But it seems like that there was some coordination by day traders on social media.
ATA shares were buoyed — thanks to discussions stock trading groups on Facebook, Discord chat rooms, the r/Daytrading subreddit, Twitter hashtags, and YouTube channels before the market opened.
Many of these posts mentioned the advantages of the high volume and relatively low float (31.74M) of the stock.
ATA Creativity is not on the list of most talked about stocks on r/WallStreetBets, as compiled by Swaggystocks.

$LIZI | Trade Plan Friday 05, 2021$LIZI has been on fire. 3 green days, I was stalking a short entry around 11:00am but did not get it as it showed strength.
For the past 3 days in a row, it's been pushing at market open, I expect same today.
Average time to start fading is around 11:00am - 12:00pm, today I am looking at scalping once it hits the premarket high of 20.09 (very strong resistance). Above 20, it will probably squeeze a little, but I can see today will be first red day.
Short at sight of weakness, breaking uptrend lines, be careful of any share volume above 250K/min. Long at Buy area indicated, confluence of support and trendline (around 13.50 - 13.75 area).
Trade your plan, manage your risk. GL & Happy Friday.
