Today I published the most recent version of the Canadian Short Report - a report designed for the contrarian investor focusing in on the open short ratio published semi-monthly by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC). This week we look at Baytex Energy and decide whether or not its current share price of $1.50 and its short interest ratio above 10 makes this a good candidate for the contrarian investor.

Ivanhoe Mines: A Short Seller's Play

We take a look at Ivanhoe Mines (IVN), a Canadian junior mining company with projects in southern Africa, and how investors can use information on the company’s Short Interest Ratio to discover buying opportunities. Ivanhoe Mines currently has a Short Interest Ratio of 25.91, vastly exceeding its 10-month historical average of 16.78. So is the stock just not a good investment and the short sellers have it right, or have they overdone it and will begin to close out their positions, thereby lifting the share price?
