You’re skeptical after SpaceX’s IPO, and that’s alright (Ad)

Barron's estimates a $4 trillion wave of AI IPOs is on the horizon, including OpenAI and Anthropic. Jason Bodner, a former Wall Street IPO insider who spent nearly two decades connecting IPOs with big institutional investors, says most people approach IPOs the wrong way, pointing to SpaceX's post-IPO decline as an example.tc pixel

Trump’s new dollar decree (Ad)

The last time America reset its money, it minted 1,300 new millionaires a day. Porter Stansberry believes Executive Order 14241 could trigger something even bigger. In a new documentary, Stansberry names five assets to watch before America's new dollar rolls out and explains why the U.S. government is buying stakes in small mining companies, a move not seen since World War II. He also points to a December gathering of world leaders at a Trump resort in Miami that could reveal the new dollar to the world.tc pixel

Short selling SHOE is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Shoe Carnival as its price is falling. SHOE shares are trading down $0.57 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 Shoe Carnival 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 SHOE, 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 SHOE, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is August, 14 2026.

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

  • 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.
