CRE enters the week ahead of its May 19 earnings with the borrow market close to fully seized — a tension that makes an already volatile micro-cap even harder to trade for short sellers. The lending picture is extreme.…
SKK Holdings, the Malaysian-headquartered construction and engineering micro-cap, delivered one of the most turbulent weeks in its short Nasdaq life. The stock surged roughly 700% on Monday after announcing a ~$258.8M…

NANO Nuclear Energy heads into its May 18 results with bears heavily positioned, a fresh catalyst from a headline-grabbing partnership, and short availability near its tightest level in months. The dominant story this…
