Is POET setting up for a poetic short squeeze all the way upwards of the $20 levels, or is this a ticker we should be cutting our losses, locking our profits, and walk away from? What's up, trend friends? Today, we're going to screen POET under three different lenses: the why they were what they were, the why some catalyst they had and what some stock has to wear, and guys, where to get in and where to get out. So let's get into it.
So when it comes to POET, this ticker's move has been freaking damn poetic, all right? It ran from $4.87 all the way upwards of $13 per share. What's going on over here? So let's talk about it. So what we're seeing right now is that we are seeing an AI boom all over again, right? We're seeing these smart companies have a massive freaking, you know, move to the upside, and what we're seeing right now is we're seeing a true short squeeze when it comes to POET. You know, the shorts keep adding, the stock keeps going up. The shorts keep adding, the stock keeps going up. So let's see what exactly what it says.
So this says, "The photonic stock has run up more than 70% this week on speculation of major hyperscaler partner, even as short sellers warn as of a tax nightmare." Now, you know, what we're dealing with over here is, first thing, first things first, is that the company came out, they had a short seller report written, you know, saying how this company's bad, this company's this, this company's that. And then the CEO came out and shut down all the, you know, the, let's just call it that. The problem with these short sellers is, right? And I'll tell you guys what the problem is is that for the longest time, the easiest, the easiest strategy in the markets, the easiest strategy, and if, if you go back and you watch, um, Jim Cramer videos, he literally talks about this, right? It's called the short and distort. Short and distort.
So what is the short and distort? The short and distort strategy is you short a stock, okay? Let's say at $7. Then you come out with a short seller report. Guess what a short seller report does? A short seller report causes and gets the attention of other shorts, and it panics, it spoofs the holders of the stocks. Causes them to panic so they sell. So now your entry was at seven. Just by putting out the short seller report, distorting money of the water, the stock is now down 20%. You can lock your profits, some of your profits at least. Now you got a little bit of a cushion, walk away. That's it, right? So seeing the CEO come out and get ahead of the, you know, get ahead of the curve and kind of just shut everything down was an amazing look, okay?
Now, um, let's talk about exactly what's happening over here. Let's read a little bit more, okay? I kind of like this, um, kind of like this what this person was saying. It says, uh, "Caught between AI enthusiasm as a retail, as a a retail fan base and accusations from short sellers or those making bearish bets on the stock, POET shares have been on a historic run. The stock has soared over for three consecutive days, rising 71.6% since the beginning of the week towards 11-year highs. The stock's recent breakout is partly driven by speculation of potential hyperscale partnership. As chips become more powerful, they will increasingly need to use optical interconnects, optical interconnects instead of traditional copper ones to transfer data quickly. POET produces optical interposers which connect optical lasers into microscopic fiber optic cables." So they're pretty much, they pretty much make a part of the bigger move when it comes to this whole data, data thing, data AI data, blah blah blah. You get it, all right? Okay, good.
All right. So where's the ticker heading from here now? Well, believe it or not, I actually think it's got more room to go to the upside, okay? You heard that right. I think it actually has more room to go to the upside. So it's already broken above its all-time highs. Right now, when a ticker breaks above its all-time highs, the only thing that we can use when it comes to resistance is going to be whole numbers, okay? And the whole number that we are at right now is 13, give or take. I think we can honestly go all the way upwards of 15, okay? And if we break 15, we can see 20, right? So we have half half dollars and whole dollars. The half dollar in this case would be 15, the whole dollar would be 20. All right? And, um, these are psychological levels of resistance. It's really useful when, again, right? When you take a look at it like the stock's got no damn resistance anymore. This previous week was 11, right? Now, if you go on a shorter time frame, you can see that we do have short-term resistance over here at like 12.50-ish and then obviously 13 bucks. So 12.50, 13 are going to be its highs. Uh, we'll say 12, 12.50 and then obviously 13.30, okay? Are going to be its levels to watch out for. And then if we break above these levels, we can see something like 20 bucks-ish, okay?
And, um, overall, I think it's, it's interesting to see what happens from here on out, right? Because I think that it's one of those tickers which is getting a lot of support from retail, but the market conditions need to be supporting a move to the upside. What do you mean by that? I mean, the Spy, I spy with my little eye, needs to be going up, ba ba ba ba ba ba, okay? Risk needs to come back into the markets for people to be excited about this. Because what's going to happen is that if things sell off, you're going to be seeing this move get just freaking destroyed, right? Because what's going to happen is that people are going to sell the greens and buy the reds. This is hella green, it's going to be hella gone, okay? People are going to be locking profits, buying other stuff. It's really just, you know, common sense.
So let's talk about the short interest, all right? What, what have the shorts been doing? Well, when we take a look at the short interest, the past seven days, the short interest is relatively flat. Right now, the short interest is sitting at 8.5%. This 8.5% I'm here to tell you is actually a lot higher than this. It's probably closer to 30 to 40% because this number doesn't account for naked shorts, doesn't account for synthetic shares, doesn't account for dark pool volume, it doesn't account for the majority of what short interest is really made up of. So for me, I think that it's one of those situations where it's still got a lot more room to go, right? Than, than where it's sitting at right now. So that's it. That's my take, okay? I appreciate you guys. I wish you guys all the best of luck.
