“Elon’s nightmare” could fund your retirement (Ad)

Marc Chaikin, the 60 year Wall Street veteran whose Chaikin Money Flow indicator sits on every Bloomberg terminal, says a new micro cluster AI technology could render today's data centers, including Elon Musk's Colossus in Tennessee, obsolete for major breakthroughs. These next generation centers use 99 percent less space, electricity and water, yet Chaikin's research shows they could be more than a trillion times more powerful than the top data center on earth today, potentially cutting AI breakthrough timelines from five years to five days.tc pixel

Short selling KWY is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Kingsway Financial Services as its price is falling. KWY shares are trading down $0.04 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 Kingsway Financial 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 KWY, 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 KWY, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is August, 31 2026.

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

  • 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.
