These gold assets are priced for $1,800 gold [it's over $4,000] (Ad)

Gold's major miners are generating record free cash flow, with margins as high as 75 percent even after gold's pullback from highs above 4000 an ounce. Yet top junior mining assets remain priced as if gold were still stuck near 1800 an ounce, a gap analyst Garrett Goggin calls the Golden Anomaly. With record cash on hand, majors may soon be forced to buy juniors to secure future production.tc pixel

Short selling AVNW is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Aviat Networks as its price is falling. AVNW shares are trading down $0.16 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.

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

Short interest is typically published by a stock exchange once per month. However, NASDAQ publishes a report for U.S. stocks, including AVNW, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is August, 31 2026.

Understanding short interest metrics can help you assess how traders are positioning around a stock like AVNW:

  • Shares Sold Short: The total number of shares that have been sold by short sellers but have not yet been covered or closed out. A high number may indicate bearish sentiment.
  • Short Float: The percentage of a company’s publicly available shares (or "float") that are sold short. A higher short float suggests a greater portion of the stock is being bet against.
  • Days to Cover (Short Interest Ratio): This estimates how many days it would take short sellers to cover their positions, based on average daily trading volume. Higher values can signal potential for a short squeeze if buying pressure increases.

These metrics are often used by traders to gauge sentiment, volatility risk, and the potential for price movements based on short covering activity.
