Has The AI Bubble Popped? (Ad)

A recent sell-off wiped $2.3 trillion off the Nasdaq 100 in a single day, leaving Wall Street split on whether the AI trade is dead. Porter Stansberry says money is already migrating out of tech and into a forgotten sector that one major Wall Street bank upgraded while downgrading tech. He argues it's tied to the AI build-out and could produce the next Magnificent 7. His new broadcast covers which stocks he'd consider selling, where he believes the money is heading, and a large-cap name he believes could 5x over five years.tc pixel

Short selling SU is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Suncor Energy as its price is falling. SU shares are trading up $0.96 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 Suncor Energy 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 SU, 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 SU, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is October, 30 2026.

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

  • 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.
