Your Social Security check is scheduled for a 22% cut (Ad)

The U.S. now borrows money just to pay interest on money it already borrowed, a pattern economists call a debt death spiral. Interest payments alone now top a trillion dollars a year. The Social Security trust fund is projected to run dry by 2032, which could trigger an automatic 22% cut to benefits. Between 2020 and 2022, the Fed expanded the money supply by 41%. A free 27 page report breaks down these numbers in plain English, including what central banks have been doing with gold.tc pixel

Short selling AXS is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Axis Capital as its price is falling. AXS shares are trading down $0.06 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 Axis Capital 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 AXS, 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 AXS, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is October, 30 2026.

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

  • 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.
