Nyse stock with the highest short interest as % of free float.

Obviously this top 25 are companies in financial, consumer and real estate sectors.
We remind you that these stocks may beguin to goes up at any time since the short sellers have to buy these shares at some point.

This time, Beazer Homes (BZH), a real estate company, has now 63% of all its free float sell short. He has lost 50% of its value in a single month.
