Stocks with the highest short interest

InvestorTurf offers an easy-to-use database of stocks with a lot of people betting against them (short interest over 20 percent). The database also shows other important information like the number of available shares, total outstanding shares, and the industry the company belongs to. The data covers stocks listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the New York Stock Exchange, and the American Stock Exchange.

Stocks with high short interest can be quite unstable and are famous for suddenly shooting up in value (called a short squeeze). Traders often get interested in these stocks just because they have high short interest, hoping that their prices will quickly rise as those who bet against the stock rush to buy it back.
