The futures were up big Monday morning on the first trading day for February. After last week’s wild and crazy volatility ride, which saw the VIX surge to 37 on Thursday, hedge funds pounded by the Reddit retail army, and all the indexes closed down right at 2% Friday, hopefully things calm down some. Top analysts on Wall Street are starting to point to “bubble” type metrics, and the stunning gains and losses in the short interest plays are an example. Many are urging caution.

With fourth-quarter earnings reports slowing but still streaming in, most across Wall Street will not only be examining the results but looking to see what guidance for the first quarter and the rest of 2021 looks like. With all of the major indexes and the Russell 2000 still very close to all-time highs, despite Friday’s downturn, it makes sense for investors to start building some cash reserves while repositioning portfolios for 2021.

24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports each day of the week with a goal of finding new ideas for investors and traders alike. Some of these daily analyst calls cover stocks to buy. Other calls cover stocks to sell or avoid. Remember that no single analyst call should ever be used as a basis to buy or sell a stock. Consensus analyst target data is from Refinitiv.
