As of June 17, 2024, the most shorted stock was for, the American holographic technology services provider, MicroCloud Hologram Inc., with 66.64 percent of their total float having been shorted. This is a change from mid-January 2021, when video game retailed GameStop had an incredible 121.07 percent of their available shares in a short position. In effect this means that investors had 'borrowed' more shares (with a future promise to return them) than the total number of shares available for public trading. Owing to this behavior of professional investors, retail investors enacted a campaign to drive up the stock price of Gamestop, leading to losses of billions when investors had to repurchase the stock they had borrowed. At this time, a similar – but less effective – social media campaign was also carried out for the stock price of cinema operator AMC, and the price of silver. What is short selling? Short selling is essentially where an investor bets on a share price falling by: borrowing a number of shares selling these shares while the price is still high; purchasing the same number again once the price falls; then returning the borrowed shares at a profit. Of course, a profit will only be made if the share price does fall; should the share price rise the investor will then need to purchase the shares back at a higher price, and thus incur a loss. Short selling can lead to some very large profits in a short amount of time, with Tesla stock generating over one billion dollars in short sell profits during the first week of March 2020 alone, owing to the financial crash caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. However, owing to the short-term, opportunistic nature of short selling, these returns look less impressive when considered as net profits from short sell positions over the full year. The risks of short selling Short selling carries greater risks than traditional investments, and for this reason financial advisors often recommend against this strategy for ‘retail’ (i.e. non-professional) investors. The reason for this is that losses from short selling are potentially uncapped, whereas losses from traditional investments are limited to the initial cost. For example, if someone purchases 100 dollars of shares, the maximum they can lose is the 100 dollars the spent on those shares. However, say someone borrows 100 dollars of shares instead, betting on the price falling. If these shares are then sold for 100 dollars but the price subsequently rises, the losses could greatly exceed the initial investment should the price rise to, say, 500 dollars. The risks of short selling can be seen by looking again at Tesla, with the company causing the greatest losses over 2020 from short selling at over 40 billion U.S. dollars.

In 2024, ** percent of adults in the United States invested in the stock market. This figure has remained steady over the last few years, and is still below the levels before the Great Recession, when it peaked in 2007 at ** percent. What is the stock market? The stock market can be defined as a group of stock exchanges, where investors can buy shares in a publicly traded company. In more recent years, it is estimated an increasing number of Americans are using neobrokers, making stock trading more accessible to investors. Other investments A significant number of people think stocks and bonds are the safest investments, while others point to real estate, gold, bonds, or a savings account. Since witnessing the significant one-day losses in the stock market during the Financial Crisis, many investors were turning towards these alternatives in hopes for more stability, particularly for investments with longer maturities. This could explain the decrease in this statistic since 2007. Nevertheless, some speculators enjoy chasing the short-run fluctuations, and others see value in choosing particular stocks.

Large-scale association analysis between multivariate responses and predictors is of great practical importance, as exemplified by modern business applications including social media marketing and crisis management. Despite the rapid methodological advances, how to obtain scalable estimators with free tuning of the regularization parameters remains unclear under general noise covariance structures. In this article, we develop a new methodology called sequential scaled sparse factor regression (SESS) based on a new viewpoint that the problem of recovering a jointly low-rank and sparse regression coefficient matrix can be decomposed into several univariate response sparse regressions through regular eigenvalue decomposition. It combines the strengths of sequential estimation and scaled sparse regression, thus sharing the scalability and the tuning free property for sparsity parameters inherited from the two approaches. The stepwise convex formulation, sequential factor regression framework, and tuning insensitiveness make SESS highly scalable for big data applications. Comprehensive theoretical justifications with new insights into high-dimensional multi-response regressions are also provided. We demonstrate the scalability and effectiveness of the proposed method by simulation studies and stock short interest data analysis.

This chapter reviews the behavior of financial asset prices in relation to consumption. The chapter lists some important stylized facts that characterize US data, and relates them to recent developments in equilibrium asset pricing theory. Data from other countries are examined to see which features of the US experience apply more generally. The chapter argues that to make sense of asset market behavior one needs a model in which the market price of risk is high, time-varying, and correlated with the state of the economy. Models that have this feature, including models with habit formation in utility, heterogeneous investors, and irrational expectations, are discussed. The main focus is on stock returns and short-term real interest rates, but bond returns are also considered.

VIQ Solutions (VQS) Shares of VQS stock have been in recovery mode since last quarter. That was when the AI-driven tech company saw its stock price plummet after reporting earnings. Fast-forward a few months, and the VIQ Solutions stock price has climbed by more than 100%, with daily volumes increasing this month. There could be a few things in play for VQS stock. As we know, ChatGPT and AI stocks are gaining plenty of speculative interest right now. The massive surge of attention on machine learning has prompted a breakout in plenty of companies with exposure to the space.

Solid earnings from its last quarter have begun coming back into the picture now, as earnings season is well underway. The third quarter saw Imperial report an Earnings Per Share of 8 cents compared to a loss of 3 cents from a year ago. The company also saw its sales explode. The company did just under $5.8 million in sales for the third quarter of 2021. The 2022 Q3 figures were more than 630% higher at $42.6 million. CEO Harry Vafias also highlighted several key points of the third quarter’s performance. He said, “As a result of having acquired six vessels in the course of ten months, we generated net income of $15.5 million in a single quarter which is 15,400% higher than our profit in Q2 22’ and equivalent to 23% of our current market capitalization; We incurred moderate debt during the quarter, maintaining a healthy capital structure with $42.3 million of debt while preserving a free cash balance available for further fleet expansion of about $92 million. Given the strong market fundamentals and the promising charter rate environment and by taking advantage of our efficient management of our expanded fleet, we believe that we will achieve strong results and generate significant cash flow going forward.” With a more bullish tone in energy, it will be interesting to see how the company’s next round of earnings compares.
