Stocks generating strong interest on Reddit's WallStreetBets include AMD(NASDAQ:AMD), AMC Entertainment(NYSE:AMC)and Allakos(NASDAQ:ALLK). Biofrontera(NASDAQ:BFRI)is buzzing on Stocktwits. Short interest positions are elevated heading into next week on Cortexyme(NASDAQ:CRTX), Tattoed Chef(NASDAQ:TTCF)and Corsair Gaming(NASDAQ:CRSR). Keep an eye on Nikola(NASDAQ:NKLA)for further short squeeze potential.\nAll day-Baidu(NASDAQ:BIDU)hosts its annual flagship developers' conference called Baidu Create. The event will also be China's first metaverse conference as it takes place on the XiRang platform. The virtual reality platform enables up to 100,000 online attendees to interact with 100 speakers from around the world at the three-dimensional conference. Baidu plans to release its technological advances and applications in a number of cutting-edge areas such as artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, intelligent transportation, quantum computing, and biocomputing at the conference. Shares of BIDU trade near the low end of their 52-week range.\nAll day -Immersion(NASDAQ:IMMR)holds a special shareholder meeting to vote on an equity incentive plan and adjournment of the special meeting to a later date.\nAll day -Pre-IPO shareholders with DiDi Global(NYSE:DIDI)will be allowed to sell their shares after a lock-up period expires.\nAll day -The deadline for the redemption of Alight(NYSE:ALIT)public warrants expires. The expiration of warrants can lead to a share price increase if dilution risk is seen being removed.\nAll day -The tender offer for Southwest Gas(NYSE:SWX)from Carl Icahn at $75 per share expires. The company has urged investors to reject Icahn's takeover attempt, saying his tender offer undervalues the company and is highly conditional.\n\nTuesday - December 28\n\nAll day -The SEMICON Taiwan Semiconductor conference runs from December 28-31 with a focus on the latest innovations that will drive the next wave of industry growth. Chip heavyweights Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company(NYSE:TSM), ASE Technology Holding Co(NYSE:ASX)and Nanya Technology(OTCPK:NNYAF)will be exhibitors, as well as new artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, 5G and machine learning startups. Onto Innovation(NYSE:ONTO)is being circled as an exhibitor to watch at the conference.\nAll day -Cal-Maine Foods(NASDAQ:CALM)earnings report. Options trading on Cal-Maine implies a move of close to 6% after the numbers drop.\n9:00 a.m.The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller home price index for October is expected to be reported at +19.4% to follow on the 19.5% increase in September. Home price growth has been gently easing since July even as demand has stayed robust amid tight supply. Some analysts think a cool Case-Shiller print could shake up sentiment on homebuilder stocks such as D.R. Horton(NYSE:DHI), KB Home(NYSE:KBH), Toll Brothers(NYSE:TOL), Lennar(NYSE:LEN), Beazer Homes(NYSE:BZH)and PulteGroup(NYSE:PHM).\n\nWednesday - December 29\n\nAll day- NextGen Acquisition Corp. II(NASDAQ:NGCA)shareholders meet to vote on the SPAC deal to take Virgin Orbit public. The satellite launch company was split off from Virgin Galactic(NYSE:SPCE)in 2017. Virgin Orbit recently announced an extension of its partnership with Arqit Quantum(NASDAQ:ARQQ)on space-based encryption services to private, defense, and intelligence customers globally. Virgin Orbit is developing a space launch system based on a modified 747-400 aircraft. The company expects to trade under the ticker symbol VORB after the SPAC deal is completed.\nAll day -Shareholders with Athena Technology(NYSE:ATHN)are scheduled to meet to approve the SPAC deal to take concentrated solar energy company Heliogen public. Heliogen’s technology uses a field of mirrors to capture sunlight for converting into heat, electricity or clean fuels. ArcelorMittal(NYSE:MT)has an initial investment of at least $10M in Heliogen.\n2:00 p.m.The deadline hits for the public redemption of AerSale(NASDAQ:ASLE)public warrants. AerSale says its election to redeem warrants on a cashless basis limits dilution to existing shareholders and is simpler and less burdensome to warrant holders.\n\nThursday - December 30\n\nAll day -Shareholders with CF Acquisition Corp.(NASDAQ:CFV)meet to vote on the SPAC deal to take earth observation company Satellogic public. Satellogic is building a new plant in the Netherlands to produce as many as 25 satellites a quarter.\n8:30 a.m.The initial jobless claims report drops to expectations for an increase to about 220K from 205K the week prior. Claims are at very low levels due to the strength in labor demand.\n\nFriday - December 31\n\nAll day -The last major economic report for investors to chew for the year on will be the China PMI print. The last two updates on China PMI have fallen below expectations.\nAll day -It is the walk date for the MKS Instruments(NASDAQ:MKSI)acquisition of Atotech(NYSE:ATC).
