Re: re: Shorting Apple stock
Apple is (or was for many months when it kept rising, not sure if it is still is now that it has already fallen 25%) the most heavily shorted stock in dollar terms, which isn't surprising as it also has (or had, until Microsoft closed higher today) the largest market cap.
It is nowhere near the most heavily shorted stock in terms of percentage of float, which is how analysts measure "the most heavily shorted stock".
