2/22 Today's Watchlist: FCX PLTR GME VIOT LODE SQQQ

The Silver rally I suspected may be occurring. Some of the Reddit traded stocks are back to heady levels and others are showing signs of recovering some lost ground. Gold quite strong today ( as it has often been on Monday's ), but the gold mining stocks are underperforming I sold one today it's just easier making money in other areas. Copper stocks continue to march higher; I sold TKO at a quick profit bought some SURG with the money. Not sure whether to jump on board others would have been easier on a pull back. Too many choices if my target hit I can redeploy some money ( some of the Oil related plays I sold last week are back to rallying today ). A lot of that money is in Silver plays today; I reduced overall risk imo at the cost of some profits.

I see this day as an excellent opportunity to sell underperforming commodity plays and either redeploy in better movers or build some cash for any pull back in the same. The big Gold miners are like dead money lately even the good ones.
 
Up 5% today it was a great day to own/trade commodity stocks on the TSX. Every losing position on Friday reversed to being a winner today ( some in a major way ), suggesting the market makers on the option side were pretty busy suppressing stock prices Friday from roughly 11 am forward. Second straight month this occurred. I will not be buying anything next monthly options expiry until 3:30 pm, and will carry a healthy cash balance into that Friday.

I used to trade options a fair bit those experiences are helping understand some of the dynamics in play.
