Jensen Huang sold $1.8 billion (Ad)

Nvidia insiders have sold $1.8 billion in stock over the past year. Jensen Huang has made 42 consecutive sales in five years without a single buy. Peter Thiel sold roughly $100 million, SoftBank dumped $5.8 billion, and Bridgewater trimmed exposure to Nvidia, Google, and Meta. History shows even the right technology can mean the wrong stock. Cisco was the must-own internet play in 2000 before collapsing 86 percent. Alexander Green sees a similar pattern forming now, with a possible Phase 2 AI shift ahead.tc pixel

This tiny piece of glass could be bigger than GPUs (Ad)

Jensen Huang says AI can't scale without it. Google Ventures calls it the future of AI compute. Sequoia Capital - the firm behind Anthropic and OpenAI - calls it a 'holy grail.'

Wall Street insider Jason Bodner - who called Nvidia at $4.50 - believes this 'light-speed' device could be bigger for AI than GPUs and is about to launch a new wave of winners. He's sharing his number one stock pick tied to it at no cost.tc pixel

Short selling WSM is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Williams-Sonoma as its price is falling. WSM shares are trading up $8.47 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 Williams-Sonoma 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 WSM, 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 WSM, 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 WSM:

  • 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.
