Is this AI lab Elon’s SpaceX lifeline? (Ad)

Elon Musk went from calling one AI lab 'evil' to striking a deal giving it access to SpaceX's entire Colossus 1 supercomputer - all in three months. The lab saw 80x revenue and usage growth in Q1 2026 alone, when it had only planned for 10x. 60-year Wall Street veteran Marc Chaikin calls it the most important potential IPO of 2026 - and says he's found a pre-IPO backdoor trading under $40 per share. His stock-rating system previously turned bullish on Nvidia in 2014 before a nearly 50,000% run, and on Vertiv before a 3,985% surge.tc pixel

What is “gold skimming”? (Ad)

Former $900 million hedge fund manager Larry Benedict has developed a strategy he calls Gold Skimming - a way to target cash payouts from gold markets without buying a single ounce, mining stock, or ETF. With a reported 73% win rate across 19 trades and potential payouts of $2,975, $3,781, and $6,786 in a single day, Benedict has put together a free step-by-step walkthrough showing how it works whether gold climbs or pulls back.tc pixel

Short selling TDIV is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from First Trust NASDAQ Technology Dividend Index Fund as its price is falling. TDIV shares are trading up $0.68 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 NASDAQ Technology Dividend Index Fund 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 TDIV, 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 TDIV, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is April, 30 2026.

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

  • 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.
