INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Short-Interest Theory

Investors should be careful not to rely too heavily on the short-interest theory to identify stocks in which to invest.

Very often, a stock with an inordinately high degree of short interest may have deteriorating fundamentals and a highly leveraged balance sheet.

While the stock may rise substantially if a positive development sparks a short squeeze, MNKD= 20

there is also a distinct risk that the short sellers may be right in their grim assessment that the stock may be headed much lower in the future. MNKD= 0
