Three companies about to leapfrog Nvidia [And transform the entire industry] (Ad)

Futurist George Gilder - who predicted the smartphone years before the iPhone launched - believes today's AI data centers are already obsolete. Three companies are quietly developing a way to process data that could do in minutes what current server farms do in hours, using up to 90% less energy. Gilder calls it the 'Trillion Dollar Triangle' - and he thinks it could reshape the AI landscape the same way digital streaming buried Blockbuster.tc pixel

One page of the SpaceX S-1 will move this stock overnight (Ad)

When SpaceX files its S-1 in June, the SEC will require full disclosure of operating expenses - including power consumption for 1 million GPUs, a cost that rivals entire cities. That disclosure will name the supplier. One small, publicly traded power infrastructure company sits at the center of this - carrying a $1.5 billion backlog and priced like a utility.

Short selling OMC is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Omnicom Group as its price is falling. OMC shares are trading down $0.54 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 Omnicom Group 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 OMC, 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 OMC, 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 OMC:

  • 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.
