Now that SpaceX is public, buy this ticker (no, not SpaceX or Tesla) (Ad)

The SpaceX IPO wasn't the big trade - according to Larry Benedict, founder of The Opportunistic Trader, it was the trigger. Benedict, who delivered a 279% return on cash in 2025 across a 20-year winning streak, says the listing launched what he calls the 'Final Phase of Elon's Master Plan.' He's identified one specific ticker - not SpaceX, Tesla, or any Elon-affiliated company - that he believes could see billions in inflows as this phase unfolds. He calls it his trade of the year.tc pixel

Short interest is typically published by a stock exchange once per month. However, NASDAQ publishes a report for U.S. stocks, including QMOM, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is July, 31 2026.

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

  • 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.
