The Robotics Revolution has arrived … and one $7 stock could take off as a result. (Ad)

It could very well mark the beginning of a new multitrillion-dollar industrial revolution. Up until now, we've imagined robots doing things like cleaning our homes, serving drinks at restaurants, greeting guests in hotel lobbies, stacking shelves in warehouses, and so on. Very soon, there will be a robot that won't do any of that. However, it's impact on the US economy and society will be FAR greater than anything we ever imagined.

Short selling AMZN is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Amazon.com as its price is falling. AMZN shares are trading down $1.14 today. To short a stock, an investor borrows shares, sells them and buys the shares back on the public market later to return it to the lender. Short sellers are betting that a stock will decline in price. If the stock does drop after selling, the short seller buys it back at a lower price and returns it to the lender. The difference between the sell price and the buy price is the trader's profit.

How does a short squeeze work against Amazon.com?

A short squeeze for Amazon.com occurs when it has a large amount of short interest and its stock increases in price. This forces short sellers to cover their short interest positions by buying actual shares of AMZN, which in turn drives the price of the stock up even further.

How often is Amazon.com's short interest reported?

Short interest is typically published by a stock exchange once per month. However, NASDAQ publishes a report for U.S. stocks, including AMZN, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is May, 15 2025.
