Now that SpaceX is public, buy this ticker (no, not SpaceX or Tesla) (Ad)

The SpaceX IPO wasn't the big trade - according to Larry Benedict, founder of The Opportunistic Trader, it was the trigger. Benedict, who delivered a 279% return on cash in 2025 across a 20-year winning streak, says the listing launched what he calls the 'Final Phase of Elon's Master Plan.' He's identified one specific ticker - not SpaceX, Tesla, or any Elon-affiliated company - that he believes could see billions in inflows as this phase unfolds. He calls it his trade of the year.tc pixel

Every time Musk needs a company, he buys it (Ad)

Musk needed batteries - he built the Gigafactory. Needed solar - acquired SolarCity. Needed data - bought Twitter. The pattern is consistent: when a supplier becomes mission-critical, he acquires it. Now, with $75 billion raised in the largest IPO in history, one small power infrastructure company is the critical piece his $2 trillion empire can't run without. Dylan Jovine has the name and ticker.tc pixel

Short selling NREF is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from NexPoint Real Estate Finance as its price is falling. NREF shares are trading up $0.18 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 NexPoint Real Estate Finance 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 NREF, 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 NREF, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is May, 29 2026.

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

  • 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.
