Good morning,
In a properly functioning market, stocks go up and down. Institutional investors drive the price action both ways. And when they speculate that a stock may go down, short interest in that stock goes up.
Long-term investors tend to avoid stocks with heavy short interest, and sometimes, there's a good reason for that.
But short interest is not, by itself, bullish or bearish. It simply tells investors how analysts and institutional investors feel about a company. For example, they may believe a stock is simply overvalued at its current price.
But short interest can also indicate a deeper problem with the company.
At that point, it's up to every investor to perform their own due diligence to understand if the high short interest is a temporary situation. And when you do, you may find that the shorts have it wrong.
If the company has strong fundamentals and your buying thesis hasn't changed, a stock with high short interest can be a buying opportunity.
But the opposite is also true. There are times when high short interest exists because the company is not fundamentally sound. In this case, seeing a stock with high short interest may be a reason for you to sell a stock.

Understanding Short Interest
Short Selling: It's the practice of borrowing shares and immediately selling them with the hope of buying them back later at a lower price. Investors who short a stock believe its price is going to decrease.
Short Interest: This refers to the total number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. High short interest indicates that a significant number of investors are pessimistic about the stock's future direction.

Most people think of BUYING options when they talk about options. It's how speculators leverage large sums of money hoping that a stock moves in the "right" direction over a certain period of time. The problem is - they don't always pay off when you buy them. In fact, a contributing writer at the Financial Post studied options extensively…
