This is the worst news for stocks in 50 years (Ad)

Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are issuing a rare warning: what's ahead for U.S. stocks could be the worst environment in 50 years - with portfolios potentially staying in the red for 10 years or longer. From rate spikes in 2022 to $12 trillion wiped out in 30 days during the Iran War, Wall Street suggests the volatility isn't slowing down. TradeSmith CEO Keith Kaplan is showing investors what steps to take now to prepare their wealth before this worsens.tc pixel

Every time Musk needs a company, he buys it. He needs this one. (Ad)

Elon Musk doesn't rent - he buys. When he needed batteries, he built the Gigafactory. When he needed solar, he acquired SolarCity. When he needed data, he bought Twitter. Right now, his $1.75 trillion empire depends on one small company that builds permanent power systems faster than anyone else in America. Without it, his supercomputer goes dark January 2nd. He could acquire the entire company for roughly $10 billion - against a $75 billion war chest. The stock is still priced like a forgotten industrial.tc pixel

Short selling BRSP is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from BrightSpire Capital as its price is falling. BRSP shares are trading up $0.01 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 BrightSpire Capital 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 BRSP, 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 BRSP, 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 BRSP:

  • 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.
