Use This Little-Known Number to Find Explosive Stocks

By Ben Morris

Short interest is the percentage of a company’s tradeable shares that folks are holding short.

Short sellers must buy shares to close out of their positions. And if the stock they’re holding short is rising, their losses are growing.

At some point, they’re going to jump out of the burning building. Remember, a stock can only go down so far. But there’s no limit to how much it can go up… especially if nobody is eager to sell their shares.

The “days to cover” – can give you an idea of how big a short squeeze might be. Once you get past four or five days to cover, you have the potential for an explosive move.

Investing - Two Parts Process

Making smart, informed investment decisions really involves a two-part process, in my view.

The first part is looking at the macroeconomic environment – this tells you whether the global economy is generally expected to grow (i.e., whether stocks have a path higher). It means looking at metrics like GDP, inflation, interest rates, velocity of money, and geopolitics (amongst a few others).

The second part gets down to the company/asset level. Is this company expected to grow earnings in-line or above expectations? What is the company’s free cash flow and what does it do with spare cash? Is the yield on this bond high enough to compensate for the underlying risk of the company or municipality?
