A 17-year investing experiment investigated in Dublin (Ad)

Porter Stansberry flew the Porter and Co. team 3,300 miles to Dublin to investigate a 17-year investing experiment called Project Prophet - and documented everything on film. Rooted in the laws of physics, this quantitative approach challenges conventional wealth-building wisdom. With 17 years of verified data behind it, Porter calls it unlike anything he has seen in nearly 30 years in the business.tc pixel

Short selling DSM is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from BNY Mellon Strategic Municipal Bond Fund as its price is falling. DSM shares are trading down $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 BNY Mellon Strategic Municipal Bond Fund 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 DSM, 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 DSM, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is April, 30 2026.

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

  • 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.
