This Gold Explorer Is Approaching Its Biggest Milestone Yet (Ad)

A little-known Arizona gold explorer just hit 66.2 metres grading 6.57 g/t gold, including 20.7 metres at 18.25 g/t. After roughly 21,000 metres of drilling, the company is closing in on its first-ever mineral resource estimate, expected in Q3 or Q4 2026. That estimate could offer the market its first real look at the scale of this emerging gold system.tc pixel

The national debt just passed $39 trillion (Ad)

The U.S. national debt just topped $39 trillion, up nearly $3 trillion in a single year and on pace to hit $40 trillion by fall. Servicing that debt now costs more than the entire defense budget, while inflation above 3.5% keeps eroding cash savings. Central banks are responding by buying gold at the fastest pace in decades.

Short selling NEXT is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from NextDecade as its price is falling. NEXT shares are trading down $0.06 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 NextDecade 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 NEXT, 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 NEXT, 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 NEXT:

  • 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.
