These events have strange names, but the profit potential is no laughing matter. In fact, “squeezequakes,” when they happen and you spot them correctly, can be a game-changer!

See, in my MasterMind class, I help traders identify what I call “Ghost Prints,” the telltale signs whales and other big market players leave behind that can point out significant options trades. These trades can create scenarios whereby you can see a “gamma squeeze” in the price of a stock.

“Gamma squeeze? Ghost print? Squeezequake?” I can hear you ask. Well, this shorthand helps me define massive money-making opportunities.

A gamma squeeze can happen when there are thousands of contracts bought in a hurry. Now, there’s a market maker on the other side of that trade and that market maker is exposed. That’s not a position they want to be in, so they in turn hedge their risk by buying stock.

And when a gamma squeeze ignites in a stock that already has significant short interest – that is what I call a “squeezequake.”

These can be extremely powerful. I’d bet you’re watching stocks right now that are experiencing these sorts of dynamics and you didn’t even know it.

Tonight, we’ll take a deeper dive into three stocks that are showing the first rumblings of a “squeezequake” this week…
