Thursday morning brought modest pullbacks in most major stock indexes, as market participants turn their attention to economic data over the next couple of days to guide their longer-term strategies. As of 8:15 a.m. ET, futures on the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) were down 54 points to 16,338, giving back just a small portion of the index's advance since early Monday. Biotech stocks have been a key driver of the Nasdaq's advance over the past year and a half.

But the stock markets trending back up, after a late-November pullback. That turn upward would appear to have some historical backing. The S&P 500, in data going back to 1928, has notched up December
Short squeezes can deliver enormous returns for investors in the blink of an eye. Several so-called "meme stocks" generated jaw-dropping gains for investors earlier this year due to this phenomenon. The mechanics of a short squeeze are fairly straightforward.
Up nearly 400% in the last month alone, Longeveron (NASDAQ: LGVN) is doubtlessly one of the more volatile biotechs in the longevity space. Between its brief dalliance with meme stock traders in November and recent progress with regulatory authorities, plenty of people have made a lot of money on the stock. The key fact for investors to know about Longeveron is that it's a young biotech without any late-stage projects.

Yahoo Finance's Anjalee Khemlani joins the Live show to report on Pfizer announcing its vaccine boosters have proved effective against the COVID-19 Omicron variant.
The company expects 2022 full-year adjusted profit between $8.10 and $8.30 per share, the midpoint of which was below analysts' estimates of $8.24. Shares of the company were up 2.36% at $95.3 in premarket trading, after it raised its 2021 profit forecast. The drugstore chain has seen its profit weighed down by higher medical costs in its Aetna insurance businesses due to the pandemic.

The legislation would overturn administration rules ordering businesses with 100 workers or more to require vaccinations or coronavirus testing for millions of employees.
Pfizer and BioNTech said that a third dose of their Covid-19 vaccine neutralized the Omicron variant in lab tests but that the two-dose regimen was significantly less effective at blocking the virus.
