Dorsey crashes the Top 10: June at TradeStation

1058

June was another big month for social-media at TradeStation, with Twitter (TWTR) crashing the Top 10 list of busiest symbols.

Jack Dorsey’s micro-blogging platform rose 10 notches to No. 3 among our clients’ most active stocks. The surge came as TWTR soared to new multiyear highs and joined the S&P 500 index. Larger rival Facebook (FB) continued to slide down the rankings.

Streaming video giant Netflix (NFLX) was another big mover, climbing six places as it broke free of a bullish triangle.  The biggest decliner in terms of popularity was PowerShares QQQ Trust (QQQ), which dropped from No. 5 to 12. Nvidia (NVDA) also slid four spots.

Here’s a rundown of June’s top names:

  1. SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY): The market-tracking ETF held its spot from April.
  2. Micron (MU): The chip maker stayed at No. 2.
  3. Twitter (TWTR): The social media stock spiked from No. 13 after being added to the S&P 500.
  4. Netflix (NFLX): The streaming-video company rose from No. 10 amid a breakout to new highs.
  5. iPath S&P 500 VIX (VXX): The market-inverse instrument maintained its position from May.
  6. Amazon (AMZN): The e-commerce behemoth rose two notches from the previous month.
  7. Alibaba (BABA): The Chinese tech giant climbed from No. 9 in May.
  8. Nvidia (NVDA): The chip maker slid from fourth place.
  9. Apple (AAPL): The handset maker dropped from third place the previous month.
  10. Facebook (FB): The social media slid from No. 6 in May and No. 2 in April.
