I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.

Goldman Sachs' basket of heavily shorted stocks has surged by 24.7% in 2026, driven by speculation and investor interest in high-risk trades. Leading the pack is SoundHound AI with a short interest of 36.63%, followed by Ondas and CleanSpark, all with over 27% short interest. High short interest may indicate bearish sentiment but can also lead to rapid price increases if traders cover their positions.
