Sorry last sentence should be:The long interest is the float. High short % presumably increases buying interest above normal trading volumes. Reply
Stocks with the Highest Short Interest [view article]
Shorted stocks supposedly are borrowed from longs via the longs' brokers and sold. (I say supposedly because naked shorting has become quite the fashion but I will let more sophisticated traders tell us how that works.) The short speculator or arbitrager has cash and owes the long the stock. Should the stock go down, the short purchases it on the open market and returns the stock to the long. The difference is the profit. Should the stock go up, the short must repurchase at a loss and replace. Thus the % of the stock float sold short shows you how much potential pent-up buying exists in a given security. If the shorts are wrong about a stock, their buying tacked on to normal buying can result in excessive movements to the upside.Thus the float is the long interest plus the short covering potential.

Big Lots: Good Report, Adverse Reaction [view article]
I am also shorting this stock subject to TA and ten year's of history.This stock is at a decade double top; and, almost every year since it has been trading, the final four months of the trading year have proven to be unforgiving to BIG.
I am not saying the selloff will be as bad this year because of the macroeconomic conditions here in the U.S., but more downside seems almost inevitable. Reply
Big Lots: Good Report, Adverse Reaction [view article]
This is very discouraging. I lost my behind in MA wherein even though MA came out with stellar results, raised guidance, the stock got hammered. The same with PriceLine where beat the Q and raised guidance and the stock got hammered. Apparently, they only grew 80% and not 100% in their European arm! It seems the only way to make money in this market is to buy and hold good stocks and hope that they will do well in the long run and get recognized for their merits.

I can't imagine anyone shorting WYNN, LVS, MGM, BOYD gaming. These stocks could take off anytime and have been going up for the last 3 weeks. All four are well managed companies and well capitalized. Replygordon
