Current Most Shorted Stocks Right Now 2021: November

A list of the current most shorted stocks today can be the place to look for deep dip value buys. The stocks with the highest short interest across all major U.S. stock exchanges should be watched and stay updated on for short squeeze opportunities.  

These company stocks have the highest percentage of their shares borrowed to sell short. These short positions reveal built in future buying pressure as the shares short must eventually be bought back to cover unless they go to zero. These stocks are the ones in the highest danger of short squeezes when the bears realize they have overstayed their welcome. Bears that failed to lock in their profit late in a high short interest stock can get a big upside surprise with any bullish news event that brings enough hope back for the company that the stock begins to go higher. Selling short goes against the long term trend in the stock market and stocks getting on the most shorted stock list can be bullish for a stock signaling it could be about to rally higher after reaching one of the highest levels of short interest. 

NASDAQ short interest is updated twice a month. Short interest data is reported on mid-month and end-of-month settlement dates for NASDAQ listed stocks. Most exchanges do month end reporting on short interest. So it is constantly updating and changing but is delayed in reporting.

Here’s the list of the 25 most heavily shorted stocks in the stock market currently.
