These 50 Stocks Are Being Shorted Like Crazy
The 50 Stocks That Hedge Funds Are Shorting Like Crazy
 |
Goldman Sachs’ Hedge Fund Trend Monitor report takes a close look at what the world’s biggest hedge funds are trading.
The report includes the Very Important Short Positions (VISP) — stocks in which hedge funds have the most short interest outstanding.
Considering the relatively strong performance of the stock market this year, these short positions have done pretty well.
Year-to-date, a portfolio of VISP stocks is up 7.4 percent.
We pulled the 50 stocks on Goldman’s VISP list and ranked them by the total dollar value of short interest; the extent to which hedge fund managers have been betting against the stock. Also included are the short interest expressed as a percentage of float cap, the YTD return, and the stock’s ticker and sector.
