It is great to see the stock price go up and so very fast. So, what's up?
Some say Lightwave is working with all those Ai unmasked foundries.
Some say it is investors recently recommended to the stock by conference or analyst.
Some say if it is going up, it must be leaked info.
Some say we are close to the ASM so good news is coming.
Some say most Nasdaq stocks are up.
Some say it is index buying.
Some say managed funds are buying.
Some say momentum traders are piling in.
Some say shorts are covering.
Some say as the price is rising no shorts are using naked shorting practices as it is a losing game with a rising market.
Some say it is the start of a squeeze.
Some will say the price was pushed down too far and too fast.

Most of us say "it's about time". Time will tell if this strength will persist. People tend to attribute a day like this to an event. The market is much too complicated to focus on one explanation and more than likely many of the above reasons are playing a role. A very important one is computer trading using algorithims. As much as 70-80% of trading in stocks are computer driven with algorithims set for target price, speed of price change, volume or just speed of orders. Computer driven wash ttrading can use many small orders to run the price up and do the same thing down. If that doesn't add complexity in comes Ai. Ai can enhance computerized trading by helping you to predict price action before you see it so you can front run the price. This has the tendency to add to volatility as well. Ai has been increasing its use of late. All of the above add to volatility. Volatility exhausts some shareholders and they sell and give up. Retail holders of stock are at a considerable disadvantage.

So what can you do. If you do your homework well you can hold through the ups and downs until you no longer can for personal reasons. This run today can be quite short lived or it might be based on things to come 'in the near term". There is a lot going on in the market on a day to day basis that we just don't know about, Guessing makes us feel better to carry on.
