I screened the sector by dividend stocks with the highest amount of
short selling stocks, measured by the short float ratio. The ratio shows how
many stocks are shorted by investors. Companies with a high ratio of short
float have a little upside potential if investors need to close their short
position. Nine dividend stocks from the technology sector have a short float
ratio of more than 10 percent and four are recommended to buy.
Here are my favorite
