Summary

A positive start, but Mr Market will be inclined for chop across this week.

–
notable stock: CHWY

Roaring Kitty has disclosed he owns 9M shares… some 6.6% of the entire company.
–

notable weakness: GME

A clear case of meme-hysteria attention swinging from Gamestop to Chewy.
—

notable strength: TSLA

Helped by NIO delivery data. Another push to the 200dma. A break >207 would be decisive, and offer 250/260.

—

notable semicon: NVDA

S/t broken. Red gap looks out of range until the flip side of Labor day.
