Investors should consider buying stocks with heavy short interest due to their potential for an ironic rally higher called a short squeeze. Five unloved stocks yields between 6.9% and 21.4% are under the radar because Wall Street suits heavily sell them short. Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores’ short interest has increased following a fourth-quarter earnings miss, while CVR Energy’s bear camp has grown as its stock price jumps.
