Musk is burning $2.5 billion a quarter on AI. One company holds the key. (Ad)

SpaceX's S-1 filing reveals $7.7 billion spent on AI infrastructure in a single quarter - not chips, not software, but power infrastructure. The filing shows $23.85 billion in servers and $14 billion in construction in progress, all dependent on one company's hardware. Without this supplier, Colossus doesn't run and the $1.25 billion Anthropic pays monthly stops flowing. The stock is still trading like no one has read the filing - but analyst Dylan Jovine has, and he's releasing the name at no cost.tc pixel

Uncle Sam now owns 9.9% of Intel (Ad)

On August 22, 2025, the U.S. government became one of Intel's largest shareholders - converting CHIPS Act grants into a 9.9% equity stake worth 8.9 billion dollars at 20.47 per share. Weeks earlier, the DoD took a 15% stake in rare-earth miner MP Materials, and the DOE followed with a 5% stake in Lithium Americas alongside a 2.23 billion dollar loan. Federal equity ownership in semiconductors, rare earths, and lithium - at this scale - hasn't happened since World War II. Porter Stansberry says the rules of investing are changing, and the stocks positioned to win this realignment aren't the ones the financial press is covering.tc pixel

Short selling FJP is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from First Trust Japan AlphaDEX Fund as its price is falling. FJP shares are trading down $0.40 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 First Trust Japan AlphaDEX Fund 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 FJP, 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 FJP, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is May, 29 2026.

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

  • 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.
