Nvidia’s record quarter could send this new type of AI soaring (Ad)

Nvidia just posted 96.2 billion in revenue for a single quarter, more than Coca-Cola generates in an entire year. The top five hyperscalers, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Oracle, are projected to spend 800 billion on AI this year and 1.3 trillion next year. Jason Bodner, a former Wall Street trader whose system has flagged stocks like Nvidia, Super Micro Computer, and Vertiv before major run ups, says a new light speed technology called Accelerated AI could be next in line for that spending.tc pixel

Short selling PRKS is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from United Parks & Resorts as its price is falling. PRKS shares are trading down $0.49 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 United Parks & Resorts 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 PRKS, 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 PRKS, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is September, 15 2026.

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

  • 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.
