Millionaire warns: Move your money now (Ad)

Larry Benedict, the hedge fund trader who generated $274 million in profits for clients and beat the S&P 500 by 18 times in 2025, says Trump's installation of a new Federal Reserve chair is triggering the most significant shift in U.S. markets in nearly 20 years. Benedict's track record around Fed moves is hard to ignore - 62% from a single position after 2020 rate cuts, 117% in under a month when rate hikes were signaled in 2022, and an 89% gain in 17 days following a Jackson Hole speech.

Short selling GME is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from GameStop as its price is falling. GME shares are trading down $0.43 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 GameStop 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 GME, 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 GME, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is April, 30 2026.

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

  • 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.
