A new income category is drawing serious money - here's why (Ad)

Forbes recently called a new category of exchange-traded income funds a 'golden era,' and Bloomberg noted the eye-popping yields are fueling a boom among everyday investors. Three years ago, barely a dozen of these funds existed - today there are more than 100, holding over $140 billion. These funds trade on the NYSE and NASDAQ and are built to generate monthly income. Some investors are targeting $5,000 a month with roughly one-tenth of the nest egg Wall Street says you need.tc pixel

Short selling APO is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Apollo Global Management as its price is falling. APO shares are trading down $1.25 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 Apollo Global Management 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 APO, 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 APO, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is September, 30 2026.

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

  • 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.
