I was right about SpaceX (Ad)

Jeff Brown predicted Bitcoin before it climbed as high as 52,400%, Tesla before 2,150%, and Nvidia before 32,000%. Now he says SpaceX is shaping up to be the biggest IPO of the decade - and three key milestones just confirmed it. In the past 21 days: SpaceX crossed 10,000 active satellites, Elon filed confidential IPO paperwork with the SEC, and another rocket launched 25 more satellites. Two-thirds of every satellite in orbit now belongs to one company. The public filing could drop any day.tc pixel

Iran's New Leader Just Said Something That Should Terrify Every American (Ad)

Iran's Supreme Leader has declared the Strait of Hormuz closed as leverage against the U.S. - and with 40% of the world's oil passing through that corridor, crude has already crossed $100 per barrel. History shows gold surged 571% during the 1973 oil crisis and 425% in 1979. Today, the U.S. holds 8,133 tonnes of gold valued on the books at $42.22 per ounce - while gold trades above $5,000. American Alternative Assets has released The Great Gold Reset report detailing what this gap could mean for investors.tc pixel

Short selling ED is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Consolidated Edison as its price is falling. ED shares are trading up $1.71 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 Consolidated Edison 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 ED, 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 ED, 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 ED:

  • 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.
