The 5 Most Shorted Stocks in the S&P 500 Index

Ever wonder what are the most shorted stocks in the S&P index? Insider Monkey wrote about "The 5 Most Shorted Stocks in the S&P 500 Index".

Short selling activity is a criterion that is not so often taken into consideration in the investment world. However, even though short-sellers can not be considered market makers, their activity may have a point, and it may show that a decline in price is not far away. For some stocks, which have a high short percentage of float (tradable shares), the price can climb as shorters are covering their positions.

An increased demand together with a reduced supply of shares, forces individuals, who hold short positions, to buy shares while the price increases rapidly, a situation known as a "short squeeze." In a "short squeeze" speculators can earn good money by capturing short-term price movements. We would like to present five of the most massively shorted stocks in the S&P 500 Index. These companies have experienced the highest level of short trading as a percentage of float. Make a visit on the website of Insider Monkey for more details on the  most shorted stocks in the S&P 500 index.

The 10 Most Charitable Countries in the World

Being helpful is inate to all of us. That is why we tend to help each other.  Insider Monkey also shares us "The 10 Most Charitable Countries in the World". The financial crisis has affected every aspect of society, including charity. A recent study by the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) showed that since 2007, people have been engaging less and less in charity-related activities, like volunteering. In this way, CAF revealed in a report that from 2007 to 2011, acts of kindness like helping strangers fell by 4% aggregately speaking, while volunteering time has dropped a similar amount.

Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.’s Best Dividend Plays

Goldman Sachs's  best dividend plays have been shown for the awareness of everybody. "Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.’s Best Dividend Plays" was written by Insider Monkey for us to know more about it. Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:GS) is a key player in the banking industry to watch, not only from an investment standpoint, but from a researcher's perspective as well. We'll explain.

 As companies are recovering from the recent financial crisis, they've found themselves with large amounts of cash on their balance sheets. In order to do something with this cash, companies can invest it in order to grow, to pay down their debts, to buy back shares or to initiate and increase dividends. This last point is important, since shareholders who invest in companies that pay dividends receive something more than income from quarterly cash payments. Just go to Insider Monkey's site for more information about Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

If you are about to retire and thinking of the best place to stay, then you must know the best places to retire. Insider Monkey provides you the "The Top 10 Best Places to Retire".

At some point during life, everyone starts thinking about retirement. Some may even compile a list of the top 10 best places to retire. Someone thinks about it earlier, others later, but basically, while concerned about retirement, people take into account only their pension funds. However, some people also consider retiring abroad. Giving the situation that the pension in their home country is relatively high in comparison with other countries--assuming that's the case--retiring abroad can be an interesting opportunity to spend your elder years with pretty good living conditions.

Aside from the financial factor, international retirement can offer much more benefits than spending this time on your home turf. First of all is probably the climate. Living somewhere in the south, near white sand beaches and the ocean, sounds pretty cool. That's why many countries from Latin America have been popular destinations for retiring people. Another category which is taken into consideration is the healthcare system. Being old comes with many health issues, and that's why it is important to live in a country or city where healthcare is a high priority, and at the same time, is not very expensive. Take some time to visit the site of Insider Monkey for the full detail about the best places to retire.

Hedge Funds’ 10 Favorite ETFs

Hedge funds'10 favorites ETFs are now finally revealed in a post. Insider Monkey created "Hedge Funds’ 10 Favorite ETFs" just for you to have the information you are looking for.

Exchange-traded funds (ETF) like the SPDR Gold Trust (ETF) (NYSEARCA:GLD) have many similarities with regular stocks. However, even though it trades like a stock on the market, an ETF is a security that follows an index, a commodity or a basket of assets, so it has some particularities as an index fund. Because it acts like a stock on the market, but also because of the low cost and tax efficiency, ETFs can represent an interesting investment opportunity.

Owners of ETFs benefit from the diversification of an index and from the possibility to sell short, and purchase at least one share. In addition, an extra advantage is that ETFs owners bear some lower expenses compared to the average mutual fund, because buying and selling ETFs involve the same commission as paid on any regular order. Please go to Insider Monkey to see more of the Hedge Funds' 10 favorite ETFs.

Solar Stocks Loved By The Smart Money

Wondering what are most loved solar stocks by The Smart Money?  Insider Monkey made a blogging on the " Solar Stocks Loved By The Smart Money".

Energy is one of the most important topics in the world economy at the moment, particularly from a long-term standpoint. As renewables continue to gain greater support from both sides of the political aisle in the U.S. (and in many developed and developing nations abroad), there's inevitably a push toward investment opportunities in this space. Publicly-traded solar energy companies are in particular focus, and names like First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR), SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ:SPWR) and GT Advanced Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:GTAT) have been brought to the center of Mr. Market's attention.

Speaking of First Solar specifically, it is important to mention that in its recent acquisition of the Japan-based TetraSun, there exists a key opportunity for expansion that couldn't exist elsewhere. In Japan in particular, limited land availability reduces the space that solar providers have for PV plants, and TetraSun, which specializes in rooftop systems, should be a good way for First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) to expand vertically, rather than horizontally--literally speaking.  See Insider Monkey for more about solar stocks.

The 10 Largest Credit Rating Agencies In The World

Do you know anything about credit rating agencies? Then, you must know the largest credit agencies in the world. Insider Monkey brings us a blog post about "The 10 Largest Credit Rating Agencies In The World". A credit rating agency (CRA) is a company that assigns credit ratings for companies, entities, governments, and state or local governments who are issuing some kind of debt obligations, like bonds that can be traded on secondary markets. A CRA often analyzes debt instruments themselves. Credit ratings involve opinions about credit risks. They refer to ability or obligations of the issuer to complete its financial responsibilities in accordance with the bonds that are issued.

 Usually CRAs follow a simple, subscriber-based business model to achieve some income. This model involves releasing publications but not distributing them for free, but to receive a fee from its subscribers and provide the publications only for them. For more details, see the website of Insider Monkey to see the full post about the largest credit rating agencies in the world.

The Most Short Sold Stocks

If there are companies that have the highest sold stocks, there are also those that have short sold stocks. Insider Monkey has made a post regarding the list on "The Most Short Sold Stocks".

For investors looking to hedge or speculate, there are many reasons why one would short sell a stock. While bi-monthly short interest FINRA data is useful for determining a broad gauge of the 'most hated' stocks on the Street, it's important to note that an abnormally high short interest can lead to a short squeeze. Though tough to pinpoint, recent short squeeze scenarios include Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA), among others, but generally speaking, a short interest percentage above 30% (of float) indicates a level that retail investors should stay cautious of.

The stock price of Disney has been in a general uptrend over the past 12 months, and is now up more than 40% from a year ago. Logically speaking, this makes Disney an unfavorable candidate for short sellers, but there are still a few bears out there. Please see Insider Monkey for more details about the most short sold stocks.
