Labor Day Warning: The secret that called 1929 is flashing something new (Ad)

In 1929, a young researcher named Irving Weiss spotted warning signs Wall Street ignored - then watched the Dow crash nearly 13% in a single day, followed by another 12% drop the next. His research became Weiss Ratings, a system The Wall Street Journal ranked number one for investment performance. It also called the Dot-Com Bust, the 2008 crisis, and the 2020 crash. Now the system is flagging a possible shift in the back half of 2026, separating stocks it flags as vulnerable from those positioned to climb.tc pixel

Earth's biggest energy source: near Grand Canyon (Ad)

The largest energy source on Earth contains 50,000 times every oil and gas reserve on the planet combined - and much of it sits beneath the desert near the Grand Canyon. A drilling crew just hit the DOE's 2035 targets twelve years early, with costs down 50% in 18 months. Google signed on, Gates invested, and the Pentagon made it a priority. One company has been quietly building this infrastructure for sixty years.tc pixel

Short selling BZLFY is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Bunzl as its price is falling. BZLFY shares are trading down $0.12 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 Bunzl 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 BZLFY, 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 BZLFY, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is August, 14 2026.

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

  • 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.
