Objective: Stocks that are the best candidates to establish a short position in. In essence, this is the antithesis of the “Wheat from the Tares” in which these are the ‘Tares’. They are stocks that have seen a considerable run-up in price and are beginning to showing signs that the gains are unsustainable and may begin to reverse course. We are also looking for signs that investors and traders alike are beginning to establish short-positions in these holdings. Below you will find small, mid and large-cap companies.

Ideal Market Conditions: Beginning of a downturn in a bear market is the most ideal entry point, followed by strategic entry points after an established downward trend is in place. These types of stocks can also allow for you to hedge yourself against an increasingly overvalued market in order to mitigate your risk to the downside. Markets that are channeling sideways also give ample opportunities to trade in and out of those stocks that are showing the greatest signs of weakness.
