CODE RED: AI Meltdown Imminent? (Ad)

After correctly predicting the 2008 and 2020 stock market meltdowns, I believe this AI company is about to trigger the next crash. The research firm Bernstein Research said this AI company has the power to crash the global economy for a decade, the CEO just issued a CODE RED in an internal memo warning employees they're dealing with a critical situation, and another company executive even implied they might need a government bailout. The last time I saw something like this was in 2008 when I predicted a stock market meltdown just three weeks before Lehman went under.tc pixel

Short selling VTHR is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Vanguard Russell 3000 ETF as its price is falling. VTHR shares are trading up $2.41 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 Vanguard Russell 3000 ETF 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 VTHR, 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 VTHR, 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 VTHR:

  • 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.
