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