They’re baaaaack! Day-trader cult stocks like AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. are dominating investors’ attention once again, with eye-popping rallies and crashes and even some free popcorn thrown in for those with the gumption to ride the rollercoaster.

Russell also details the bull case for China, his outlook on inflation, and some big winning pair trades made at the height of the Covid-19 crisis.
