ATTENTION: We just released a new “must-see” exposé on your retirement (Ad)

Weiss Ratings, the watchdog that has flagged major financial shifts for 55 years, is warning about a little-known government financial operation affecting retirement accounts. Its stock ratings have historically produced returns that could have more than tripled the S&P 500's gains since 2003, a track record now focused on this emerging risk.tc pixel

The "Misery Index" just hit a 3-year high (Ad)

The Misery Index, inflation rate plus unemployment rate, just rose for a fourth straight month to a three year high. The last time it climbed this fast, stocks stalled for a decade, bonds were nicknamed certificates of confiscation, and gold ran from 35 dollars to over 800 dollars an ounce. Some analysts say the real figure, measured the old way, is triple the official number reported today.tc pixel

Short selling DXC is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from DXC Technology as its price is falling. DXC shares are trading up $0.44 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 DXC Technology 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 DXC, 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 DXC, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is August, 14 2026.

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

  • 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.
