SpaceX eyes a 1.75 trillion valuation - here's what to know (Ad)

Elon Musk's team has quietly filed confidential paperwork with the SEC for what Bloomberg estimates could be a $1.75 trillion IPO - larger than Saudi Aramco and any tech offering in history. CNBC calls it 'the big market event of 2026.' According to former tech executive and angel investor Jeff Brown, there's a way to claim a stake before the public filing drops, starting with as little as $500.tc pixel

Before you buy SpaceX shares, consider this alternative approach (Ad)

SpaceX has confidentially filed for an IPO with the SEC, targeting a June 2026 listing at a valuation exceeding $1.75 trillion - potentially the largest IPO in history. But one expert says buying shares directly may not be the smartest move. There is a lesser-known way to tap into this windfall that most investors haven't considered.tc pixel

Short selling BOTZ is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF as its price is falling. 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 Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF 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 BOTZ, 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 BOTZ, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is May, 15 2026.

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

  • 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.
