Stockpickr: Top 10 Short Squeeze Stocks
Another name on the top 10 potential short squeezes list is Greenbrier(GBX), which makes and sells railroad freight car equipment. At the moment, it would take short-sellers 13 days to cover their shares at the current volume. The problem is that on Jan. 9 Greenbrier announced that its fiscal first-quarter earnings fell sharply, due mainly to production difficulties and unexpected income delays. The company also lowered its earnings guidance for the year.
Shares fell from their high of $46.63 and are now at $26. However, over the past month, 10% owner Jeffrey Gendell bought $2 million worth of stock, and several directors also accumulated shares, suggesting that whatever production difficulties the company had should be behind them. Additionally, energy investment guru T. Boone Pickens owns shares of Greenbrier. The company has also appeared on our list of the most-oversold Russell 3000 stocks. This list is made up of stocks trading at the largest discounts to their moving average. This suggests a possible mean reversion snapback. Here's the full list of top 10 potential squeezes.
