It’s not about Greenland (Ad)

The petrodollar arrangement that anchored the US dollar for 50 years quietly expired in June 2024. Since then, China has cut its Treasury holdings by 45% from their peak, and BRICS nations offloaded $47 billion of American debt in a single month. The Trump administration has responded with a $12 billion critical minerals stockpile called Project Vault, equity stakes in miners like MP Materials and Lithium Americas, and a push to secure resources from Greenland to Ukraine. Porter Stansberry lays out the full story in a new documentary, including five companies positioned at the chokepoints of what he calls Trump's New Dollar.tc pixel

Short selling HLMN is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Hillman Solutions as its price is falling. HLMN shares are trading down $0.30 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 Hillman Solutions 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 HLMN, 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 HLMN, 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 HLMN:

  • 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.
