FDA Clears This Under-$5 Biotech for Phase 2 Clinical Trial (Ad)

A NASDAQ-listed biotech just cleared a major regulatory milestone. The FDA has cleared its lead multiple sclerosis therapy, Lucid-MS, to enter Phase 2 clinical trials - the first time it will be tested in patients with progressive MS. Unlike treatments that suppress the immune system, Lucid-MS is designed to protect myelin, the insulating layer destroyed by the disease. In a pre-clinical mouse model, treatment led to movement recovery including walking. Independent research projects peak annual sales of up to $5 billion if Phase 2 succeeds. The stock still trades under $5 per share.tc pixel

Short selling GDS is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from GDS as its price is falling. GDS shares are trading up $1.72 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 GDS 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 GDS, 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 GDS, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is September, 15 2026.

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

  • 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.
