SpaceX pays a 10X launch penalty (Ad)

SpaceX burns roughly $200,000 in fuel per Falcon 9 launch - about $20 million across 100 missions. One under $5 company's High Altitude Head Start technology could bring that down to $20,000 per launch, or $2 million across 100 missions - a 10X cost advantage. It is already flying with paying customers, but shares may not stay this cheap once Wall Street notices.tc pixel

Barricks gold output fell from 2 million ounces to 719000 (Ad)

Barrick's gold production has plunged from 2 million ounces to just 719,000, leaving the world's second-largest miner running on fumes. Newmont's $15 billion purchase of Newcrest, the largest mining deal in history, still couldn't keep output growing, proof that majors must keep buying to survive. With record cash flows and shrinking mines, gold majors are positioned to launch a wave of acquisitions targeting the best junior assets.tc pixel

Short selling ABG is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Asbury Automotive Group as its price is falling. ABG shares are trading down $2.78 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 Asbury Automotive Group 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 ABG, 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 ABG, 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 ABG:

  • 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.
