SpaceX IPO hides a much bigger story (Ad)

The SpaceX IPO could be the biggest in history at $1.75 trillion - but the real story isn't the IPO itself. Elon believes what Michael Robinson calls 'Project Unlimited' could unlock $100 trillion in potential growth. One little-known company sits at the center of it all, and most investors have no idea it exists. Position yourself before this company potentially hits the front page.tc pixel

"You need transformers to run transformers" — Musk (Ad)

Elon Musk recently laughed nervously and said, 'You need transformers to run transformers.' That wasn't a punchline - it's a constraint printed in the SPCX prospectus for a $2 trillion company. The world's largest supercomputer requires power equipment that takes 120 weeks to build. Musk built Colossus in 122 days. One small American company can close that gap faster than anyone else, and Wall Street still hasn't priced it in.tc pixel

Short selling DOW is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from DOW as its price is falling. DOW shares are trading up $0.16 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 DOW 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 DOW, 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 DOW, 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 DOW:

  • 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.
