From the man who predicted 2008 crash… (Ad)

Porter Stansberry, founder of one of the largest financial research firms in the world, says he's breaking the biggest story of his 26-year career - an economic shift not seen since 1776. From the government taking stakes in Intel, Lithium Americas, and MP Materials, to sweeping political changes reshaping the economy, Stansberry argues a rare 'New 1776 Moment' is already underway. One Nobel Prize winner calls it a dividing line for all of society. His presentation covers the stocks to buy, the stocks to sell, and three money moves to position yourself on the right side of this shift.tc pixel

Short selling AGNC is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from AGNC Investment as its price is falling. AGNC shares are trading down $0.18 today. To short a stock, an investor borrows shares, sells them and buys the shares back on the public market later to return it to the lender. Short sellers are betting that a stock will decline in price. If the stock does drop after selling, the short seller buys it back at a lower price and returns it to the lender. The difference between the sell price and the buy price is the trader's profit.

A short squeeze for AGNC Investment occurs when it has a large amount of short interest and its stock increases in price. This forces short sellers to cover their short interest positions by buying actual shares of AGNC, which in turn drives the price of the stock up even further.

Short interest is typically published by a stock exchange once per month. However, NASDAQ publishes a report for U.S. stocks, including AGNC, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is April, 30 2026.

Understanding short interest metrics can help you assess how traders are positioning around a stock like AGNC:

  • Shares Sold Short: The total number of shares that have been sold by short sellers but have not yet been covered or closed out. A high number may indicate bearish sentiment.
  • Short Float: The percentage of a company’s publicly available shares (or "float") that are sold short. A higher short float suggests a greater portion of the stock is being bet against.
  • Days to Cover (Short Interest Ratio): This estimates how many days it would take short sellers to cover their positions, based on average daily trading volume. Higher values can signal potential for a short squeeze if buying pressure increases.

These metrics are often used by traders to gauge sentiment, volatility risk, and the potential for price movements based on short covering activity.
