New episode of Risk & Return, streaming now! With S3 founder and managing partner @BobSloanS3 and @CGasparino of the NY Post and Fox Business.
What the midterms mean for markets: why the Dow rallied 1,000 points, and why AI could be the one issue both parties agree on.
Shorts held their bets against aerospace and defense into the vote, with short interest at a one-year high above 8% of float.
The neoclouds are down 38% since August, the worst of any AI buildout group, and shorts and active managers are both adding. $CRWV $NBIS $IREN CoreWeave reports next week with shorts up 34% since August 31. Five of its six reports have been followed by a drop.
