This weekend, the Trump administration announced that the war in Iran is likely winding down. 

And as a result, stocks are getting bid up across the board.

But the real action is happening beneath the surface.

Speculative stocks that are heavily shorted are squeezing higher, and that's exactly the pond we want to be fishing in right now.

Because when risk appetite is expanding, and the market’s most crowded bearish bets start moving higher, short sellers are forced to make a decision.

They can either sit there and take the pain…

Or they can cover.

And when they cover, we tend to get explosive upside moves.

Just look at what has happened over the past 10 trading sessions.

** We’re also tracking squeeze candidates by short interest and days-to-cover. 

Alignment Healthcare $ALHC has rallied 48.7% over the past 10 sessions. 

Victoria’s Secret & Co has rallied 46.3%. 

And Tango Therapeutics $TNGX has surged 42.4%.

These are violent upside resolutions from stocks with heavy short interest.

And this is exactly the kind of environment our Freshly Squeezed strategy is built for.

Our universe includes stocks with market capitalizations above $500 million and short interest above 12%.

Right now, there are more than 550 stocks in that universe.

And we've recently dug through all of the charts and identified the four best setups in the Freshly Squeezed universe.

These are the names where the pressure is building, the shorts are exposed, and the next squeeze could already be underway.
