And on June 29th, the Supreme Court quietly handed us one of the biggest privacy wins in decades, ruling the Fourth Amendment protects the location data on your phone. Here's what should get investors excited: this ruling just cracked open a window for one under-$1 altcoin, built specifically for the kind of privacy the Court just protected. We're calling it the "Freedom Coin"... and it already has real institutional weight behind it. A lending protocol holding over $11 billion in deposits just went live on this coin's technology. See why we're calling this our "Freedom Coin". The last coin we gave that name to gained 631%. We believe this one has even more room to run… and it's still trading for pennies.

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 appreciates 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 July, 31 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.
