The dollar reset no one told you about (Ad)

Porter Stansberry says a dollar reset is underway - one that has happened only once before in America's 250-year history, back in 1974 with a secret Saudi deal that reshaped an entire generation's wealth. Today, a landmark treaty called Pax Silica - signed by 13 nations in December 2025 and barely covered in the press - is at the center of what Fortune calls 'the biggest change to the world's relationship with the dollar' in a generation. The stocks to buy, the assets to avoid, and the moves to consider are outlined in Stansberry's new briefing.tc pixel

A $382 trillion migration and the position no one is talking about (Ad)

Trump just signed a law requiring America's entire $382 trillion financial system to migrate to a new money network by April 2027. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink already calls it 'the next major evolution in market infrastructure.' Our research has identified one small, overlooked position at the center of this policy-driven shift - already drawing quiet institutional buying from BNY Mellon, State Street, and JPMorgan. It currently trades for pennies relative to where institutional demand could push it. The Q3 2026 compliance deadline may be the last window before prices move.tc pixel

Short selling IEP is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Icahn Enterprises as its price is falling. IEP shares are trading up $0.05 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 Icahn Enterprises 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 IEP, 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 IEP, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is August, 14 2026.

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

  • 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.
