Bearish bets on US stocks are surging:
Short interest in the S&P 500 is up to ~3.7% of its free float, near the highest in data going back to 2010.
Short interest in the Russell 3000 is up to ~6.1%, also near an all-time high.
Both metrics have steadily increased since the start of 2025.
Furthermore, short interest across all NYSE-listed stocks rose to a record 9.0% of shares outstanding in late June.
By comparison, this metric peaked at ~5.0% during the 2008 Financial Crisis and ~6.0% during the 2020 pandemic.
Conditions for a short-squeeze are rising.
You could buy 100 shares of
$PLTR
right now for $12,400.
Or you could sell a $115 cash-secured put expiring 8/21 and get paid $520 today.
Three possible outcomes:
1.
$PLTR
stays above $115
You keep the $520 premium. That's a 4.52% return on capital in 30 days, or 55% annualized.
2.
$PLTR
drops below $115 but you still like the stock
You roll the put down and out to a lower strike and later expiration, collecting additional premium in the process. You get paid more to wait at an even better price.
3.
$PLTR
drops below $115 and you get assigned
You buy the shares at $115, but your real cost basis is $109.80 because of the premium collected. That's an 11.5% discount from today's price. Then you start selling covered calls.
That's the power of selling options.
One Chart Breaking Down Every Link in the Chip Industry
10-layer architecture, six major systems, tens of billions of transistors.
The six systems each serve distinct roles:
Computation System: CPU (the savvy manager) + GPU (a factory with thousands of workers) + NPU (dedicated AI assembly line)
Memory System: Cache (small drawers right beside workstations) + memory interface (connecting to the large DRAM warehouse)
Control System: Instruction scheduling & clock management — the chip’s city hall
Communication System: PCIe and buses — highways and subway networks inside the city
Power System: Voltage regulation and power consumption monitoring — invisible energy arteries
Packaging System: Substrates, solder balls and heat sinks — building a dome over the entire city and linking it to the outside world
I’ll only say this once.

ELON MUSK ON WHERE PEOPLE SHOULD INVEST:
"I DON'T REALLY BUY STOCKS.
I DON'T LOOK FOR THINGS TO INVEST IN.
I JUST TRY TO BUILD THINGS."
HE ADDED:
"GOOGLE HAS LAID THE GROUNDWORK FOR AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF VALUE CREATION FROM AN AI STANDPOINT.
NVIDIA IS OBVIOUS AT THIS POINT.
AI, ROBOTICS, AND MAYBE SPACEFLIGHT ARE GOING TO CREATE OVERWHELMINGLY MOST OF THE VALUE."

Google $GOO is a $500 stock
Microsoft
$MSFT

Meta
$META

You’d be foolish NOT to own these stocks unlike the popular NVIDIA
$NVDA , AMD , $AMD, and Micron $MU
They have insane earnings & revenue growth…
