The Most Shorted S&P 500 Stocks — Apple (AAPL) Is NOT One of Them

FYI: We laughed when we saw the headline below linked on the popular Drudge Report website this morning. “Apple becomes most shorted company ahead of iPhone launch…” Here’s a link to the story posted on Telegraph.co.uk.

For those reading this headline that aren’t familiar with the inner-workings of short selling, the assumption might be that investors are turning extremely negative on Apple (AAPL). This assumption would be completely wrong, however.
Regards,
Ted

    Think the shortsellers have learned something. In the meantime, WB has quietly buying AAPL and become the largest eight holder of the stock.
