A message from Stansberry Research Hey, Garrett Baldwin here. Is it really possible that we've just uncovered enough energy... Right here on U.S. soil... To meet all our energy needs for the next two million years? Yes, it is – click here for details. What you'll discover is a brand new video that reveals how, according to the U.S. Energy Department, we may have just found enough energy to power nearly everything.... Our homes... Our cars... Data Centers... Factories... Even whole cities... Not just for the time being, but for millions of years back to back. And no, it's not oil or natural gas. It's not uranium or lithium. It's also got nothing to do with solar power or windmills. This is a brand new type of energy breakthrough. Google, Meta, and Berkshire Hathaway are already rushing in to make deals. So are billionaires Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg. So is hedge fund billionaire, Ray Dalio. In fact, I've NEVER seen so many bigtime investors crowd into an energy opportunity like they're doing with this radical discover. And it's all happening right here, on U.S. soil. We sent a film crew to find out exactly what's going on – click for details. Our investigation names this new energy source, explains how it could transform the U.S. economy... and even names the one company at the center of this breakthrough. The video is entirely free for you to watch – don't miss it. Best,

Featured Content from MarketBeat.com 3 Short Squeeze Candidates With Big Catalysts on the HorizonWritten by Dan Schmidt 
Key Points - Short squeezes are resurfacing in low-float small caps, reminiscent of the 2021 meme stock craze.
- Investing for short squeezes is risky, as these are short-term trades designed to deliver quick but outsized gains.
- These three stocks could be the next squeeze candidates, as they have high short interest and upcoming catalysts that could trigger a rally.
In 2021, a new presidential administration took shape while meme stocks and short squeezes sent markets into a frenzy. In 2025, another new presidential administration is taking shape, while meme stocks and short squeezes again send markets into a frenzy. While history doesn’t always repeat, we might see it rhyme as obscure small-cap stocks produce parabolic gains on a wave of retail volume. The names are different (and it’s Superman leading the box office this time over Spider-Man), but it might be time to dust off the short squeeze trading playbook and consider a few lottery tickets. Hunting short squeezes is risky since these stocks are often thinly traded and highly volatile. Before buying any of the three stocks discussed here today, make sure this strategy fits with your investment goals. Anatomy of a Short Squeeze: Important Factors to Consider Short squeeze candidates are often terrible-looking investments at face value—that’s why so many investors are shorting! You don’t short profitable winners like NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA); instead, you short movie chains struggling to remain solvent, like AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (NYSE: AMC), or unprofitable tech firms, like Opendoor Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: OPEN). The idea behind a short squeeze isn’t a good long-term investment, but a quick parabolic gain as shorts race to cover. That’s why traders don’t look at fundamentals, but factors like these: - Short Interest: The first and most obvious factor to look for is short interest, which tells you the percentage of available outstanding shares (called the float) that have been borrowed and sold short. High levels of short interest indicate a bearish tilt to the stock, but it can also lay the groundwork for a fierce reversal if the trend changes.
- Days to Cover: An often-overlooked yet crucial metric, days to cover refers to the time it would take short sellers to cover their positions (i.e., reacquire shares to return them to their broker) given the average daily trading volume. If this number is high, it indicates short sellers may have a difficult time locating shares and exiting their positions quickly.
- Volatility: Short squeezes aren’t for the faint of heart. These stocks can be extremely volatile, and even successful short squeezes don’t provide a hint when the party is about to end. Have a plan of attack and be prepared to weather a storm of volatility.
- Catalyst: The spark that lights the fire, a catalyst can be anything from a positive earnings report, regulatory relief, or a new product launch that creates demand for the stock. A short squeeze catalyst establishes a feedback loop where both bullish and bearish traders seek shares to buy to either hold or return them to their brokers.
3 Stocks With Short Squeeze Characteristics Most heavily-shorted stocks don’t produce a squeeze, which is why finding a catalyst is a crucial part of due diligence. Nostalgia has drawn the AMC and GameStop crowds, but there needs to be a genuine reason for a reversal when hunting squeezes (as Gabriel highlights here for Opendoor). Here are three more candidates with high short interest and upcoming catalysts to keep on your radar. Navitas Semiconductor: Earnings Expectations Are Low, Upside Could Be High Shorting stocks in the semiconductor space is a bold decision considering the AI gold rush, but Navitas Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: NVTS) currently sports 32% short interest on its 134 million share float. Shorts control about $385 million of the stock’s $1.72 billion market cap, which makes sense considering the company only generated $83 million in sales over the last 12 months and continues to post negative EPS. The company's Q1 revenue dropped nearly 40% year over year (YOY), but it did meet analyst expectations. The Q2 report is scheduled for August 4, and while expectations are low, an upside surprise could be the catalyst needed to trigger a squeeze. Red Cat: Riding Regulatory Tailwinds Red Cat Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: RCAT) has seen short interest balloon lately, with 20% of the float now short, a 38% increase over the previous month. A poor Q1 earnings report is likely the culprit, as the company missed EPS expectations by a significant margin—a loss of 27 cents per share reported versus a 10-cent loss expected. However, the company expects to achieve profitability by the end of the year, and its drone capabilities have already sparked interest from the U.S. government. Regulatory tailwinds are at Red Cat’s back, and its next earnings report is scheduled for August 14. QuantumScape: A Squeeze Already Underway? QuantumScape Corp. (NYSE: QS) only has 14% short interest, but that hasn’t stopped it from pumping out a 123% gain over the last month as the short squeeze trend reignited. The EV battery maker’s stock jumped 30% on a single day in June after announcing its new Cobra Separator Process. Since this development, regulatory headwinds for EVs have been introduced, but those were likely priced in as the stock soared again in July. Shares are down 14% this week as the rally takes a breather, but they received a price target boost from Robert Baird, which increased from $6 to $11, now the highest figure on the Street.
