FYI: Short interest figures for the end of January were released after the close yesterday and earlier today we sent out our regular bi-weekly update to clients. There were a number of noteworthy aspects to this month's report, but the one that sticks out the most has to do with the Energy sector. As of the end of January, the average stock in the Energy sector had 9.88% of its floating shares sold short. As the chart below illustrates, this is the highest level of short interest for the sector since at least 2008.
