Before you buy SpaceX shares, consider this alternative approach (Ad)

SpaceX has confidentially filed for an IPO with the SEC, targeting a June 2026 listing at a valuation exceeding $1.75 trillion - potentially the largest IPO in history. But one expert says buying shares directly may not be the smartest move. There is a lesser-known way to tap into this windfall that most investors haven't considered.tc pixel

Why this tiny stock may move before the SpaceX IPO drops (Ad)

The projected SpaceX and xAI S-1 filing hits the SEC on June 1st - and analyst Dylan Jovine says $1.75 trillion in stored capital will be looking for a home when it does. But the real opportunity isn't the IPO itself. Jovine has identified a small-cap supplier trading near $4 that sits directly in the path of xAI's Colossus infrastructure buildout - and a specific trigger in the S-1 could reprice it overnight.tc pixel

Short selling RUSMF is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Russel Metals as its price is falling. 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 Russel Metals 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 RUSMF, 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 RUSMF, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is May, 29 2026.

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

  • 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.
