AI Microcap Teams With Gentex on Next-Gen Military Helmets (Ad)

Morgan Stanley projects the humanoid robotics market could reach $5 trillion by 2050, with more than 1 billion robots operating worldwide. But even the most advanced machines still lack one human sense: smell. One microcap is developing an AI-powered sensor, smaller than a deck of cards, now in hands-on integration with Gentex, whose helmet systems serve U.S. forces and more than 20 NATO nations.tc pixel

How one AI fund pays investors every Thursday (Ad)

One small fund tied to artificial intelligence stocks delivered $1,051 in a single month, not through selling shares or trading options, but simply by holding the fund and letting it pay out cash every Thursday. That works out to a 34% annualized distribution rate, even though the underlying AI stocks pay no dividends themselves. Tim Plaehn, Chief Income Strategist at Investors Alley, breaks down exactly how the fund generates these weekly payouts.tc pixel

Short selling TDW is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Tidewater as its price is falling. TDW shares are trading up $0.71 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 Tidewater 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 TDW, 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 TDW, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is September, 30 2026.

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

  • 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.
