But according to my backtesting by using a special type of gold trade, I would have seen a 141% gain in just a week. It happened again in March. Gold nudged up 1.2%. This time? A 104% overnight gain. And in June? A 1% gold move turned into a 74% gain in two weeks. Granted, there would have been smaller wins and those that did not work out, but you see, there's a reason I'm telling all my friends to hold off from buying gold or regular gold stocks right now. There's a more lucrative way to play the gold market as we enter a new breakout period. It's all about catching what I call "Acceleration Cycles."And if you’d like to get your hands on this, here you go, the complete breakdown. 3/31/202313,600,000 shares $122.40 million -12.1%9.1%5.3 $9.00 3/15/202315,480,000 shares $151.70 million -8.1%10.4%6.8 $9.80 2/28/202316,850,000 shares $173.56 million +1.1%11.3%9.7 $10.30 2/15/202316,670,000 shares $188.04 million +2.9%11.1%8.1 $11.28 1/31/202316,200,000 shares $189.38 million +1.7%10.8%6.8 $11.69 1/15/202315,930,000 shares $165.03 million -5.4%10.7%6.6 $10.36 12/30/202216,840,000 shares $159.64 million -5.7%11.3%6.9 $9.48 12/15/202217,860,000 shares $179.85 million +11.1%11.9%7.1 $10.07 11/30/202216,070,000 shares $177.41 million +0.6%10.7%6.4 $11.04 11/15/202215,970,000 shares $168.48 million -9.3%10.7%7.3 $10.55 10/31/202217,610,000 shares $185.43 million -5.1%11.7%8.1 $10.53 10/15/202218,550,000 shares $192.92 million -3.8%12.4%8.1 $10.40 9/30/202219,290,000 shares $215.28 million -1.4%12.8%8.3 $11.16 9/15/202219,560,000 shares $288.71 million +1.8%13.0%8.6 $14.76 8/31/202219,220,000 shares $286.76 million -6.3%12.8%8.7 $14.92 8/15/202220,510,000 shares $331.03 million -11.8%13.7%7.7 $16.14 7/31/202223,260,000 shares $323.78 million -4.9%15.5%7.8 $13.92 7/15/202224,450,000 shares $340.10 million +21.4%16.3%8.4 $13.91 6/30/202220,140,000 shares $296.86 million +10.1%13.4%7.1 $14.74 6/15/202218,300,000 shares $297.56 million +9.2%12.2%6.6 $16.26 5/31/202216,760,000 shares $267.49 million -8.5%11.2%6 $15.96 5/15/202218,310,000 shares $341.30 million -6.2%12.2%6.9 $18.64 4/30/202219,510,000 shares $375.76 million -7.0%13.0%10.8 $19.26 4/15/202220,980,000 shares $458.20 million +1.4%13.9%12.3 $21.84 3/31/202220,700,000 shares $405.10 million -1.0%13.8%11.5 $19.57 3/15/202220,910,000 shares $394.78 million +6.9%13.9%11.3 $18.88 2/28/202219,560,000 shares $342.69 million +10.8%13.0%10.6 $17.52 2/15/202217,660,000 shares $347.90 million -1.2%11.8%9.6 $19.70 1/31/202217,870,000 shares $335.06 million +18.0%11.9%8.6 $18.75 1/15/202215,150,000 shares $279.82 million +8.5%10.1%7.4 $18.47 12/31/202113,960,000 shares $276.27 million +6.1%9.3%7.2 $19.79 12/15/202113,160,000 shares $248.07 million +6.7%8.8%7.5 $18.85 11/30/202112,340,000 shares $236.56 million -5.4%8.2%7 $19.17 11/15/202113,040,000 shares $321.31 million -16.5%8.7%7.6 $24.64 10/29/202115,620,000 shares $386.28 million -8.3%10.4%9.4 $24.73 10/15/202117,040,000 shares $381.01 million -0.7%11.4%10.5 $22.36 9/30/202117,160,000 shares $362.08 million +4.6%11.5%9.9 $21.10 9/15/202116,400,000 shares $367.36 million +5.3%10.9%8.5 $22.40 8/31/202115,570,000 shares $335.22 million +12.5%10.4%4.7 $21.53 8/13/202113,840,000 shares $271.82 million No Change9.2%3.6 $19.64 WOOF Short Interest - Frequently Asked Questions What is Petco Health and Wellness' current short interest?
