Do shorted stocks eventually go up?
When a stock is heavily shorted, and investors are buying shares — which pushes the price up — short sellers start buying to cover their position and minimize losses as the price keeps rising. This can create a “short squeeze”: Short sellers keep having to buy the stock, pushing the price up even higher and higher.
Is it good to buy shorted stocks?
Short-selling can be profitable when you make the right call, but it carries greater risks than what ordinary stock investors experience. Specifically, when you short a stock, you have unlimited downside risk but limited profit potential.
Should you buy shorted stocks?
Short selling is riskier than going long on a stock because, theoretically, there is no limit to the amount you could lose. Speculators short sell to capitalize on a decline while hedgers go short to protect gains or minimize losses.

How do you find highly shorted stocks?
For general shorting information about a company’s stock, you can usually go to any website with a stock quote service. For more specific short-interest info (as shorted stocks are known), you would have to go to the stock exchange where the company is listed.
What happens to a stock after a short squeeze?
If a short seller thinks a stock is overvalued and shares are likely to drop in price, they can borrow the stock through a margin account. The short seller will then sell the stock and hold onto the proceeds in the margin account as collateral. Eventually, the seller will have to buy back shares.
