60 years. Zero competitors. (Ad)

One company has spent 60 years developing an energy source the International Energy Agency estimates at 140 times global electricity demand - with zero competition. Last year, their crew drilled in 16 days what the government projected would take 64. Now Google has a 15-year deal locked in, Bill Gates has committed $100 million, and the Pentagon has made it a top priority. On August 18th, a new Washington policy adds another advantage rivals cannot match.tc pixel

SpaceX pays a 10X launch penalty (Ad)

SpaceX burns roughly $200,000 in fuel per Falcon 9 launch - about $20 million across 100 missions. One under $5 company's High Altitude Head Start technology could bring that down to $20,000 per launch, or $2 million across 100 missions - a 10X cost advantage. It is already flying with paying customers, but shares may not stay this cheap once Wall Street notices.tc pixel

Short selling KRNY is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Kearny Financial as its price is falling. KRNY 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 Kearny Financial 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 KRNY, 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 KRNY, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is July, 15 2026.

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

  • 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.
