Whitney Tilson: “A New Kind of Civil War Begins in Less Than 100 Days” (Ad)

President Trump says AI regulation will not stop what he calls the greatest economic engine in history, bigger than oil, gold, diamonds, or the internet. Meanwhile, The New Republic reports Republicans are eager to rein in AI ahead of the midterms. Whitney Tilson, the analyst CNBC once called The Prophet for calling the dot-com crash, the Bear Stearns and Lehman collapses, and the 2009 market bottom, says a new divide begins in 100 days with major implications for portfolios. Tilson lays out what he believes could separate winning and losing portfolios over the next six months.tc pixel

Short selling ST is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Sensata Technologies as its price is falling. ST shares are trading up $0.31 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 Sensata Technologies 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 ST, 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 ST, 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 ST:

  • 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.
