20 Basic Material Dividend Stocks With Highest Float Short Ratio

Raw Material dividend stocks with highest float short ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Basic Material stocks were the worst performing stock category within the recent six month. The sector had a performance of -0.7 percent while the S&P 500 increased 15.27 percent.

The fear of an economic slowdown mainly caused by China’s slowing growth is the main reason behind.

Investors can benefit from a falling stock price via short selling. Today I like to look at the basic material dividend stocks with the highest float short ratio. I excluded all companies with a market capitalization below USD 2 billion.

The top 20 results have a float short ratio between 6 percent and 32.62 percent. Eight of the results still have a current buy or better rating.
