Goldman Sachs: 300 million jobs will disappear (Ad)

Goldman Sachs predicts 300 million jobs will disappear - and Elon Musk's 'Project Apex' AI supercomputer is accelerating the timeline. A Nobel Prize-winning scientist says what Musk is building could have a greater impact than the internet. Louis Navellier, who flagged Nvidia before its 82,000% run, has identified one company at the center of this buildout. It's 49 times smaller than Tesla and already powers Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Google - and he's sharing the name and ticker in a free briefing.tc pixel

Short selling CCOI is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Cogent Communications as its price is falling. 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 Cogent Communications occurs when it has a large amount of short interest and its stock appreciates in price. This forces short sellers to cover their short interest positions by buying actual shares of CCOI, 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 CCOI, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is June, 15 2026.

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

  • 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.
