Buy the “unseen winner of the AI race” before July 22 (Ad)

Marc Chaikin - the analyst who called Nvidia before a 45,000% surge - says one overlooked AI stock could split into three separate companies in a rare event called a 'starburst' before July 22. Investors who buy shares before the announcement could automatically receive equal shares in each spinoff. A similar starburst at GE unlocked $184 billion for shareholders across three new companies.tc pixel

Elon’s message for America (Ad)

Elon Musk bought Super Bowl ad time at $266,000 per second - something he has never done before. 125 million Americans watched, but Whitney Tilson, former manager of a $200 million hedge fund, says most investors missed what it actually means. With 1 in 3 Super Bowl viewers using buy-now-pay-later services and 40% of Americans carrying more credit card debt than savings, Tilson believes Elon's message reveals a major economic current - and a clear signal for where smart money should be positioned.tc pixel

Short selling JKHY is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Jack Henry & Associates as its price is falling. JKHY shares are trading up $2.66 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 Jack Henry & Associates 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 JKHY, 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 JKHY, 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 JKHY:

  • 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.
