Was that the beginning or the end
$KSS (+0.61%) today partly with +80% currently we are at +35%
Kohls is one of the most shorted stocks on the market. Are we seeing the beginnings of a short squeeze here? Extremely high volume today with 11 million trades. That is almost 15x the normal volume for the stock.
Is greed winning out here or are investors showing diamond hands?
Personally, I entered 2 months ago with a mini position simply because of the high short rate and the poor results and was actually speculating that some big player would make a takeover bid and I could get a few % out of it

I continue to buy Nike and Novo Nordisk regularly via a savings plan. In a few years, these will have been great entry prices.

$KSS (+0.61%) what's wrong with stock? Value trap?

@Mikesam0416 : I've looked into it and as a result bought it. Besides that the business definitely doesn't have tailwind currently, they do have all the POS properties on the books… Actually a bit hidden, but they own the land and the construction on it. They can afford the dividend and currently there are 2 activist investors, that urge them to a) close down POS that they are losing money on and b) sell the property and land from these POS and c) use the capital to buy back shares which would raise the value of all outstanding shares and make the dividend payment more affordable.
Looks like a fair chance of a stock price increase within the next 12-18 months

In the picture: OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) is an organization of 13 oil-producing countries based in Vienna, Austria. Key member countries include Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Venezuela and the United Arab Emirates.
OPEC's main task is to coordinate the production volumes of its member countries in order to influence the global oil market and oil prices. By setting production quotas, OPEC can control supply and demand on the oil market and thus influence prices. This power enables the organization to exert both economic and political influence, which can have a global impact.
