Lizzie, RE: But what I notice is most shorts seem to congregate on the "hot plays" like Google, for some emotional reasons, when there isn't any indication that there is big money to be made there on the short side. As usual, you have no idea what is going on with the short side. The short interest of homebuilders like Toll is higher than the short interest for Google, both on an absolute basis as well as a percentage of the float. Google's short interest is 7.8mm, the float is 173mm. Toll's short interest is 21mm, the float is 117mm. It's like that across the board with the homebuilders. If you shorted them you would join a very crowded position.
