Well, I strongly disagree with the notion that shorting stocks with
strong institutional ownership is dangerous. Quite the contrary, what
do you suppose happens when one or more of them head for the exits?
It becomes a shorters home run.
In addition, stocks overwieghted with too many institutions are
avoided by others for this fact. I have seen it time and time again
where a slight disappointment sends highly followed co's into the
toilet, and fast! On the other hand, stocks with a low institutional
following are dangerous to short since you never know when they may
decide to accumulate. Of course, this last point does not hold true
with scammy stocks, since they wouldn't want to accumulate anyway.
Every stock is different, and must be played accordingly.
Have a look what happened to PDX...the institutional ownership was
huge. So, while institutional ownership is a factor, you can often use
it to your advantage.
