Virtually Limitless Energy? (Ad)

A radical energy breakthrough could change everything. Scientists at MIT and a stealth startup may have discovered a new form of power—what some are calling “Helios” technology. It’s not solar, wind, or even nuclear fission. In fact, it could yield more energy than oil, gas, and coal combined—without harmful byproducts. This obscure company could be at the center of the next trillion-dollar energy revolution.

Short selling CVX is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Chevron as its price is falling. CVX shares are trading up $2.27 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.

How does a short squeeze work against Chevron?
