How to Identify Potential Short Squeezes

Added: 2026-05-01

[00:00:00]Excellent video on the short squeeze today. When I checked, it was already down 45%. I was in on AMC and GameStop.

[00:00:04]What do you recommend to find meme stocks? I I don't think there's a real reason a real good reason to try and find meme stocks like per se. But if you're looking for potential short squeezes to play, the number one thing that you have to look for is stocks that have a really high short interest because you don't get a short squeeze on something that doesn't have high short interest. And so there you just Google that. There are plenty of websites that'll show you the current short interest on stocks. The hard thing though is that um most of the time stocks will have a high short interest for a good reason. Everybody's shorting them because everybody is correct about the fact that it's a terrible company and it's probably going to zero at some point. And so you have to find kind of the needle in the hay stack and there they don't always exist. It's not like it's not like there's always one out there. You have to be patient and wait for an opportunity where it's like, hey, this company has high short interest, but I think the market is wrong. they're actually making money hand over fist.

[00:00:59]There's a lot of risk being priced in right now that if if one good piece of news goes goes the right way for this company, it's going to go up and all the shorts are going to get squeezed out. I think and this is a trade we have open in my private trading group. I think that is the situation with HIMS right now. Um but you know there's always so much risk with these that you know usually the consensus is right. There's a reason why there's so much uh so much short interest.
