13 Highly Shorted Healthcare Dividend Stocks

Healthcare dividend stocks with the highest float short ratio originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Selling a stock short is a popular method by investors to make a capital gain in a falling market. If investors believe that the stock price should fall, they borrow shares of the company and sell them on the market in order to hope that the stock price falls much more and that he can buy back the borrowed shares for a cheaper price.

Activists often sell stocks short. They try to scary other investors. Today I like to show you which of the healthcare 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

- Healthcare Sector Relationship

- Float Short Ratio over 5 percent

Thirteen healthcare dividend stocks have fulfilled these criteria. Eight of them have a current buy or better rating.
