Editor’s Note: Labor Day weekend usually means the same thing.
A grill, a cooler, a pool that closes Monday, three days off before summer's officially over.
This year it means one more thing.
Monday, the stock market is closed too.
Which means the 65-hour window millionaire trader Tim Sykes trades every weekend, the one between Friday's close and Monday's open, doesn't close Monday morning like it normally does.
It runs into Tuesday.
Institutional money gets an extra day off. Small-cap news doesn't.
Tim built a strategy around exactly this. One trade Friday afternoon, one decision when the market reopens, nothing to watch in between.
His full training is $1 this weekend.
Click here to see it.
Won't take longer than a trip to the cooler.

📊 THE HEADLINE THAT MATTERS THIS WEEKEND
"DRAM, DRAM, DRAM, followed by NAND, NAND, NAND."
Dell COO Jeff Clarke, on the company's earnings call this week, asked what is short in the supply chain (via Benzinga, September 4).
Friday was a rate-scare day. The jobs number came in at 162,000 against 56,000 expected, the two-year yield jumped from 4.34% to 4.425%, and Polymarket odds of a September hike went from 41% to 53% in about an hour. Gold miners got sold. The S&P closed red.
Memory did not care. Micron ran about 4% to just under $1,000. SanDisk ran 8% to around $1,680. SK hynix added 3%. The Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM) was up 4% while SPY was down 0.45%. A group that lagged a 1.4% Nasdaq rally on Thursday led the tape on the day everything else got hit.
The reason is the quote above. Dell says server demand is outrunning what it can get built, and the thing it cannot get is memory. Susquehanna expects DRAM contract prices to rise more than 50% this quarter and NAND about 60%. DRAM is roughly three quarters of Micron's revenue. SanDisk is a NAND company. When your product price goes up 50% in a quarter, a quarter-point Fed hike is a rounding error.
The read: the market spent Friday telling you which stocks trade on the Fed and which ones trade on supply. Memory is in the second bucket. CPI prints Thursday the 11th. The Fed decides on the 16th. If memory keeps shrugging off hot inflation data, that is the whole AI trade telling you rates are not the story.

📈 FRIDAY'S MEMORY TAPE
1 · SNDK
+8%
Led the group by a wide margin, trading around $1,680 Friday. Pure NAND exposure, and NAND is the second word in Dell's sentence. Thursday it gained 0.10%. Friday it gained 8%. Same company. Different day.
|
2 · MU
+4%
Traded up to about $999 Friday. A dollar short of a four-digit handle. Round numbers are magnets for a reason. Watch whether it clears $1,000 Tuesday or gets rejected there.
|
3 · THE OTHER SIDE
China share
Why memory lagged Thursday: CXMT doubled its DRAM revenue share to 10% from 4% a year ago, and YMTC's NAND share climbed to 14% from 9% (Benzinga). Shortage now, more competition later. Both things are true. The market chose to price the shortage on Friday.

This Tech Could Be Bigger Than Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft Combined
A breakthrough tech backed by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang could soon be worth more than the stocks of Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon—combined. It's likely the only answer to a $33 trillion problem... but most people don't yet know it exists. A man who has consulted for the Pentagon and FBI just flew into a heavily secured site to get the full story and discover the stocks involved.

📅 WHAT TUESDAY INHERITS
Memory ran into a closed market. That matters. A 4% to 8% move on a Friday is one thing when Monday can correct it. It is another thing when there are three days of headlines, overseas sessions and Sunday-night posts stacked on top before anyone can sell a share.
Two things to have written down before Tuesday. First, MU at $1,000. A clean break holds the whole group up; a rejection there is the first crack in the supply story. Second, the memory names that did not run Friday. Western Digital, Seagate, the equipment makers. If the shortage thesis is real, the laggards catch up. If it was a one-day squeeze, the leaders come back to them.
The supply chain does not observe Labor Day. Dell's backlog is the same size Tuesday as it was Friday. That is the bet memory made going into the weekend.
