What to Short in the next week: High Interest Shorts (PCLN, TRLG, MSO)

Sure, the market is up today - but if you think the market is going bull any time soon, it’s time to put down the crack pipe. Next, reduce your long holdings, and finally, it’s time to take the plunge to the Dark Side with a Short Position.

Here are 3 stocks that should continue to fall during the Bear Market:

 

Symbol Company  Industry Quote 52 Week Short Interest
PCLN priceline.co... Computer Services 93.64 13.59% 58.38%
TRLG True Religion Apparel, Inc. Apparel/Accessories 26.08 59.32% 46.18%
MSO Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. Printing & Publishing 8.2 -32.12% 51.98%

Priceline (PCLN) is the most heavily shorted stock, period.  I wrote about them back in June in my article Bulls vs Bears as my favorite stock to short at the time. Since then, the stock has dropped from $125.99 to $93.64 for a 26% gain if you shorted at that time. I still think PCLN could drop to the $75 range or lower.

True Religion (TRLG) has had a great year so far, but the record short interest has to win at some point. TRLG is having a hard time breaking through resistance at $28, and has no where to go but down in my opinion.

Martha Stewart Living (MSO) has had the downgrades roll in, but is still up 32% so far this year. Look for lower share prices in Q4. Do I even need to give a reason for this one? Martha’s time has come and gone.

 

Some investors feel like shorting stocks is like Annakin Skywalker joining the Dark Side of the force and becoming Darth Vader. If that fits your personality, then check out this great list of 24 reverse ETFs on Seeking Alpha.
