Are These 3 Companies Next for Short Squeezes?
It's not exactly a pillar of a sound, long-term investing strategy. But given the current (lousy) state of the market, perhaps trying to plug into a potential short squeeze might be more merited than usual. That is, if you pick the right stock.
The important caveats still apply, of course. You need to understand that these are speculative trades and that this really isn't something worth doing all the time. Indeed, if you chose not to take a swing on a short squeeze candidate at all, it wouldn't be a mistake. Sometimes you just have to deal with the market's bearish turbulence.
But if you're willing to get a little aggressive in light of slim pickings on the long-term front, here's a closer look at three of the better bets among the market's most shorted stocks.
