The 38% Crash Warning Every Retirement Saver Needs to Read Right Now (Ad)

The AI trade has pushed stocks to record highs, everyone feels good, and retirement accounts look great on paper—that's exactly what makes this moment dangerous. Citigroup Research recently modeled a 38% S&P 500 decline by 2027, not because AI fails, but because it works: as automation rises, white-collar wages weaken, spending slows, and the entire debt-fueled structure holding markets up starts to crack. Your retirement account doesn't need a crash to lose ground—volatility plus rising costs erode savings quietly, and by the time it shows up in your statement, it's already done the damage.tc pixel

Short selling CPSS is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Consumer Portfolio Services as its price is falling. CPSS shares are trading up $0.22 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 Consumer Portfolio Services 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 CPSS, 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 CPSS, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is June, 30 2026.

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

  • 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.
