Technology dividend stocks with the highest
float short ratio originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Activists often
sell stocks short. In the second step, they try to scary other investors in order
to get the stock price down and to make some profits.
Today I like to show you which of the technology
stocks have the highest float short ratio. The ratio shows you how many shares
have been sold short. It’s ever interesting to see which companies have some
problems and investors like to speculate on a falling stock price. The higher
the ratio is, the bigger the problems of the company.
These are my criteria:
- Positive Dividend Yield
- Technology Sector Relationship
- Float Short Ratio over 5 percent
- Market Capitalization above 2 Billion
20 technology dividend stocks have fulfilled
these criteria. I recognized that technology stocks with a high float short are
also highly priced but I don’t think that it’s the only reason for the short sale.
Companies like Nokia have a tough fight to compete with companies like Apple or
Samsung within the smart phone market. The market speculates that Nokia will fail
to gain market shares.
