Short selling is not always just used as a bet against a stock, but that is what Wall Street evaluates short interest for.  We did note a drop in short selling on NASDAQ from mid-December to December 31.  But it is odd that short selling in alternative energy stocks has come down too.  this is despite how weak some of the alternative energy stocks have been and how the industry is being gutted by sudden cheap energy prices again.

Is Your Money Earning the Best Possible Rate? (Sponsor)

Let’s face it: If your money is just sitting in a checking account, you’re losing value every single day. With most checking accounts offering little to no interest, the cash you worked so hard to save is gradually being eroded by inflation.

However, by moving that money into a high-yield savings account, you can put your cash to work, growing steadily with little to no effort on your part. In just a few clicks, you can set up a high-yield savings account and start earning interest immediately.

There are plenty of reputable banks and online platforms that offer competitive rates, and many of them come with zero fees and no minimum balance requirements. Click here to see if you’re earning the best possible rate on your money!
