Appetite For Self-Destruction. I Mean Conflict Of Implosion

The riskiest stocks are now leading the market...

Schwab of course


Lincoln National


United Airlines. Nothing to see here...


Micron 


And Wynn Casinos...


There are also a bunch of junk Energy stocks in this ETF which I didn't show, so instead I will show the Energy stock ETF, with junk bonds and oil, as a reminder for what happens next week...When the most overleveraged, overowned high beta junk stocks get tied to NOPEC, to see if they'll float...
