Volume Surge + The Stock Everyone's Ignoring


Listen Later

Hi everyone—welcome back to Retail Edge. While Tom’s shoveling snow in New York and Michelle’s in Chicago doing the “two-feet-of-snow is normal” routine, the market is heating up in one place: StockTwits message volume.

Here’s what’s driving the retail conversation this week:

Top 5 tickers retail can’t stop talking about: IBRX, SPY, SLS, INTC, and SLV
Silver mania: record trading volumes, massive spikes in activity, and sentiment getting extremely one-sided
Most Newly Followed: USA Rare Earth (USAR) surges as a national security, vertically-integrated rare earth supply chain story catches fire
Message Volume Breakout: Namib Minerals (NAMM) goes from delisting risk to “green energy option” talk with copper/cobalt permits
Meme of the Week: Brand Engagement Networks (BNAI) after an absurd move from $1.20 to the $80s on tiny-float dynamics and an early licensing deal
Hidden Gem: Zoom (ZM) gets an AI “hidden asset” re-rating angle via its Anthropic stake, plus a big technical level breakout
Pros vs Joes: retail steps into battered health insurers on valuation and long-term demand, while Wall Street stays stuck on policy risk
Reversal Watch: SLV sentiment is extreme—huge range, huge volume, everyone glued to it
Contrarian Call: Newegg (NEGG) is back on watch as low float, a big holder, and improving fundamentals keep retail interested

If you’re not posting a silver chart or a silver bar JPEG right now… do you even trade?
