Trump and Bernie agree on this (Ad)

Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders rarely agree on anything, yet both are steering the country toward the same economic system, according to veteran analyst Porter Stansberry. The government has already taken stakes in companies like Intel, Lithium Americas, and MP Materials, while political rhetoric on both sides points toward deeper centralization. Stansberry has spent months investigating what this bipartisan shift could mean for investors navigating the months ahead.tc pixel

Now Chaikin says a new AI data center technology using 99 percent less electricity, water, and space could accelerate scientific breakthroughs 360-fold, and one company behind it just flashed bullish in his system.

Short selling HBM is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from HudBay Minerals as its price is falling. HBM shares are trading down $0.17 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 HudBay Minerals 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 HBM, 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 HBM, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is August, 31 2026.

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

  • 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.
