Monday's action tells two different stories. The S&P 500 ticked up 0.41%, but the real theater is in the small-cap wasteland, where penny stocks and blank-check vehicles are swinging triple-digit moves on vapor-thin volume. Meanwhile, QQQ and broader market data came in sparse, leaving us to read the scene with one hand tied behind our back.

Today's gainers are almost entirely microcap noise—FSTB, BIAF, VCIG, and SKYE are up 1,000%+ on what's likely penny-stock speculation and potential data errors. The losers tell a different story: MI, IESC, SUGP, and GDC are bleeding 25–60%, suggesting real selling in beaten-down corners of the market. The S&P's modest gain masks the carnage below the waterline.
