Short Interest

When a stock breaks out to the upside, the early part of the move is often attributable to a short squeeze. Not many financial news sites publish the percent of short interest for individual stocks. Reuters is one of the few that I can find that provides this information with a free membership. In the left side panel under the section "Sentiment" you will find the header "Shares Shorted". If you're interested, check it out here.

That's a great tip. I've got loads of high-powered tools on my workstation at my office, but haven't had access to this kind of info at home. Thanks.
