Then look no further than the insane action recently in little known Texas-based health care tech company Signal Advance ( SIGL ). Shares of the company at one point late last week were up 1,500% over a 24-hour period, points out Deutsche Bank strategist Jim Reid. It brought Signal Advance’s market cap to $100 million from $7 million during that stretch. The wild move to the upside follows a Jan. 7 tweet (below) from Tesla founder Elon Musk to “Use Signal.” What Musk was referencing, however, was for people to use WhatsApp rival messaging platform Signal. That Signal is not a public company. And Signal Advance was clearly not top of mind for Musk. Oddly, despite what is clearly a case of mistaken ticker identity shares of Signal Advance gained 332% on Monday. Signal Advance didn’t return Yahoo Finance’s request for comment on its stock price movement. Such investor enthusiasm to blindly buy shares in a micro-cap company — simply because of a tweet from the world’s richest person (amid a wild move in shares of Tesla this past year ) — underscores the frothiness in markets at present. “In years to come we’ll know whether the 2020-21 period saw a historic asset price bubble the equivalent of say 1929 or 2000. If indeed it is eventually proved we were in one, one story that may capture attention [is the move in Signal Advance],” Reid said. Reid isn’t alone on Wall Street in beginning to get concerned that markets have gotten too hot, especially as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to weigh on economic growth.
