Hey, Ross here:
There’s a lot of talk about how Big Tech companies – and the tech sector in general – has been outperforming since the April low.
That’s true, and it’s actually a positive – since tech is an “offensive” sector.
But for today, let’s look at a chart that shows a certain type of stock that has outperformed them all.
Chart of the Day
The Russell 3000 is an index that captures almost the entirety of the US stock market – from small to large-cap stocks.
This is a chart that shows the average performance of three different “types” of stocks on the index.
You have the average Russell 3000 stock.
You have stocks with the least amount of short interest…
And then you have stocks with the most amount of short interest.
And as you can see, the top 100 most-shorted stocks on the index have had – by far – the best performance since the April lows…
More than double the average stock…
And nearly five times that of the least-shorted stocks.
Now, don’t get me wrong…
I DO NOT recommend blindly investing in stocks solely based on their short interest.
More likely than not, you’ll just end up blowing up your account doing that.
But there’s a reason I wanted to highlight this today.
I explain in the Insight of the Day below.

Insight of the Day
The fact that the most-shorted stocks have outperformed shows we’re still in a bullish environment.
If we were in a bearish environment, the most likely outcome for the most shorted stocks would have been for their prices to crater.
Instead, the opposite happened.
Their prices surged and the shorts got squeezed – fueling the surge even more.
That can only happen in a bullish environment…
Especially since the data covers 100 stocks, not just one or two.
In short, even if the market keeps chopping from here – particularly as Trump just announced tariffs will take effect today…
Just remember, we’re still in a bullish environment.
Oh, and speaking of the incredible outperformance of these shorted stocks…
I’ve actually created a strategy that works similarly – but could deliver even better gains.
I’m talking about returns like 287%… 542%… and 806% – all in a matter of weeks or even days.
It involves diving deep beneath the surface of the market to suss out the truth about specific stocks – especially the highly-shorted ones.
And tomorrow, Friday August 8, at 11 a.m. Eastern…
I’m going LIVE to show you exactly how to immediately apply this strategy in your own trading.
