I have long noticed that some stocks do have a high % of 'stock shorts'. I did not need to go far to find a list
https://www.highshortinterest.com/
so now i wonder if i can benefit from this information. Sure, had i bought GME last year, now i'd be rich as Croesus (aka Carlos Slim)!
But does merely having a high % of short interest have any bearing on the future of the stock price? If i could induce those USA websites to jump on my choices and push those prices up, plz tell me how to do that? But beyond influencing those retail traders mobbing together, what's to learn/know from this info? Is this really valuable information for common folk?
Ha, almost wrote 'fools', not 'folk'.
