The chipmaker 148 times smaller than NVIDIA supplying Musk (Ad)

According to Yahoo Finance, Elon Musk's latest project could 'upend another industry just as he did with cars and rockets.' Tech investor Jeff Brown - a former senior executive at Qualcomm, Juniper Networks, and NXP Semiconductors - says one tiny chipmaker, 148 times smaller than NVIDIA, is set to supply Musk with 5 billion chips over the next two years. Early investors in Tesla and SpaceX saw life-changing returns. Brown believes this overlooked chipmaker could offer a similar opportunity, with entry points currently around $50.tc pixel

Short selling XYZ is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Block as its price is falling. XYZ shares are trading up $1.87 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 Block 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 XYZ, 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 XYZ, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is June, 30 2026.

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

  • 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.
