Due Diligence

everything to check before the bell, in one place

The read at a glancehover or tap any tag for what it means

Ultra-low floatUltra-low float.Why it matters: A tiny float means moves are sharper and more explosive in both directions, and squeeze risk is high. Small buying pressure moves the price a lot.Not shortableNot shortableYour broker has no shares available to lend, so you cannot open a short here right now.Why it matters: Hard-to-borrow names can run further because bears cannot press them - but if you are long, you also cannot hedge with a short.

Float & Liquidity

Shares outstandingShares outstandingEvery share the company has issued: 1.0M (Ultra-low tier).Why it matters: This is a float proxy, not true free float. 1.0M

Volume todayVolume today2K shares traded so far today (ET session, incl. pre/after-hours).Why it matters: Compare it to the float - see rotation below. High volume on a small float is the momentum tell.2K

Float rotationFloat rotationVolume ÷ shares out = 0% of shares out traded today.Why it matters: Above ~1× means real momentum; several times over is an extreme, high-emotion tape.0% shares out

* Institutional ownership was unavailable, so float is insider-deduped only.

Short & Borrow

ShortableShortableNo shares are available to borrow - you cannot open a short right now.Why it matters: Source: Alpaca borrow desk.No

Days to coverDays to coverShorts would need ~1.0 day(s) of average volume to buy back their position.Why it matters: Higher = a squeeze takes longer to unwind and can run harder.1.0

SSR (Reg SHO)SSR (Reg SHO)Not active. It triggers after a 10%+ drop from the prior close.Why it matters: When active, shorts can only sell on an uptick, for the rest of that day and the next.Not active
