Most Shorted Us Stocks In Tech Sector

quick look at the tech sector stocks shows these are also the most shorted by the short-sellers and hedge funds. The stocks which have made it to the top list are Apple (AAPL), MicroStrategy (MSTR), and Super Micro Computer (SMCI).

Live National Entertainment is also a highly shorted stock from the large-cap category. In addition, there are other stocks such as Charter Communication, Chevron, and WEC Energy Group.

Apple, Smci, And Microstrategy

Its worth noting that once these short positions are squeezed or liquidated, it would spell trouble for the short-sellers. They would lose a big amount of money as we have seen in the case of Gamespot.

At the same time, the liquidation of these short-positions will propel the stocks to new highs. This means, there's a good chance the stocks like Apple, MicroStrategy, and SMCI could reach new all time highs.

But, there's also a chance that these stocks will falter under pressure and drop from their record highs. In that case, it would be a sea of red and we might even enter a new bearish era.

According to research, the first stocks which are highly shorted and have a score of 93 are: Apple, APD, SNPS, and COF.

Just a month ago, the Apple stock was topping the charts in the list of the most shorted stocks. However, that has since changed and Apple is now in a slightly better position.

Some other stocks which have also lost the top 10 rankings of most shorted stocks are AMD, Micron Technology, and IBM.

As for the small-cap stocks, the most shorted stocks list includes Xeror and Wolfspeed. Both of these are highly shorted stocks which is a sign that hedge funds expect these stocks to decline.

Now, whether these short positions are based on strong fundamentals or purely speculation, it remains to be seen.
