The one number Musk can't hide in the S-1 (Ad)

When SpaceX files its S-1 in June, one number will stand out - power consumption. Running 1 million GPUs requires more electricity than some small countries use in a year, and SEC rules require it be disclosed. When that figure goes public, every analyst on Wall Street will race to identify the supplier. One small company already has a $1.5 billion backlog - and Dylan Jovine has the name and ticker.tc pixel

Short selling MAA is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Mid-America Apartment Communities as its price is falling. MAA shares are trading up $0.04 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 Mid-America Apartment Communities 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 MAA, 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 MAA, 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 MAA:

  • 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.
