Interested in Short Squeezes?

I got a few names for you. There are so many options in The PPT, I doubt many have every fully grasped its capabilities.

This screen is a personal favorite. It looks for stocks that are within 1% of intra-day highs, up more than 2% for the session, average daily volume of 500K, and with 10%+ of the float sold short. In other words, here are some heavily shorted, liquid, stocks that closed near the highs of the day on Friday, into strength.

KOG
COTY
XOMA
KING
NAVB
MDR
IDIX
ENT
VRNG
CDNS

The very essence of a short squeeze relies upon relentless strength in a heavily shorted name, forcing bears to cover, out of fear of realizing substantial losses. During periods of irrational upticks, like now, I’ve found short squeeze plays to be the easiest places to make short term gains.

    how do you enter these? Many of these are extended setups. Do you enter on next day or wait for pb?

      Yeah I guess sometimes you have to brush away opinions about the company. They could be the next $CROX! IPOs were about the same and so is the potential timing.
