Elon Musk’s Hushed FCC Filing. Sept 25th. (Ad)

Elon Musk quietly filed a document with the federal government tied to artificial intelligence, one of the largest markets in the world. James Altucher, who previously flagged Nvidia in 2008 and Bitcoin in 2013, says the filing could rival Tesla, SpaceX and xAI combined.

Short selling TXT is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Textron as its price is falling. TXT shares are trading up $0.23 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 Textron 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 TXT, 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 TXT, 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 TXT:

  • 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.
