Buy the “unseen winner of the AI race” before July 22 (Ad)

Marc Chaikin - the analyst who called Nvidia before a 45,000% surge - says one overlooked AI stock could split into three separate companies in a rare event called a 'starburst' before July 22. Investors who buy shares before the announcement could automatically receive equal shares in each spinoff. A similar starburst at GE unlocked $184 billion for shareholders across three new companies.tc pixel

The Treasury just bought its own debt (Ad)

On April 16th, the U.S. Treasury executed a $15 billion buyback of its own debt - the largest in history - while former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson publicly warned of collapsing demand for U.S. bonds. According to Garrett Goggin, CFA, CMT, with 20 years studying gold and debt cycles, this is the moment miners priced for a world that no longer exists stand to benefit most. As natural bond buyers disappear and the Fed steps in, the move in gold may only be beginning.tc pixel

Short selling TQQQ is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from ProShares UltraPro QQQ as its price is falling. TQQQ shares are trading down $2.49 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 ProShares UltraPro QQQ 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 TQQQ, 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 TQQQ, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is May, 29 2026.

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

  • 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.
