Stranded On The Flood Plains of History (Ad)

The petrodollar arrangement that Kissinger brokered in 1974 officially expired in June 2024. China has slashed U.S. Treasury holdings by 45% from peak, and central banks are swapping dollars for gold at the fastest pace since the Cold War. Porter Stansberry believes Trump is channeling more than $3 trillion toward securing the minerals, chips, and infrastructure that make AI possible - and companies at those chokepoints like Vertiv (up 500%), GE Vernova (up 700%), and Arista Networks (up 750%) are already moving. Porter's new briefing names one asset to buy today plus five stocks positioned at the narrowest chokepoints of what he calls the Silicon Dollar.tc pixel

Trump's New Dollar (Ad)

Porter Stansberry says President Trump has signed an executive order initiating what he calls a full U.S. dollar reset - and most Americans don't know it's happening. The last time America underwent a monetary shift like this, under Nixon in the 1970s, it minted an average of 1,300 new millionaires a day for over half a century. Stansberry has released a new documentary naming the assets he believes are positioned to surge as a result.tc pixel

Short selling MDIV is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from First Trust Multi-Asset Diversified Income Index Fund as its price is falling. MDIV shares are trading down $0.02 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 First Trust Multi-Asset Diversified Income Index Fund 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 MDIV, 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 MDIV, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is May, 15 2026.

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

  • 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.
