what is the best stock to sell short?

Question

I think the market is already pretty high and all the stocks are valued high. Does any one know what is the best stock to sell short?

Answer 1

Let's see, ADCT (ADC Telecom) is selling for $14-ish and has a PE of 33 and has a 53 percent 1 yr and 20 percent 3 yr decrease in total return. THC (Tenet Healthcare) is similarly 57 and 57 percent decrease in total return, as well as a 646 million loss last year. Ford Motor (F) is another with decreases in returns and some 1.2 billion in the hole.

IPG (InterPublic Group) has been in similar declines, but the stock has gone up despite losing some 295 million. So something different is at foot--or is about to drop big time. Not exactly a guessing game, but a play on IPG is something close until you figure out what is at work.

Good luck.

CREL would be my short idea. You could also buy a fund that specializes in shorting: GRZZX

You can see up-to-the-minute what people are trading (and shorting) here:
