We compiled a list of the 25 most shorted stocks as measured by short interest as a percent of floating shares.
These stocks include for-profit colleges, brick-and-mortar retailers, and direct marketers.
High on this list is Herbalife, the multi-level direct marketer of diet supplement which has been the target of hedge fund giant Bill Ackman.
