Short sellers see too much risk ahead for stock prices to go any higher in the near term. RELATED CONTENT 5 of the Best Stocks to Buy for November Instead of typical investors who bet on stock prices to rise, short sellers identify companies with troubled businesses or stocks that they believe are overvalued and bet on them to trade lower. When a stock price rises too high too fast, short sellers often jump in and attempt to profit on the inevitable pullback. Rising short interest can be a red flag for investors, but heavily shorted stocks are also prone to short squeezes. Short squeezes are large, short-term spikes in a stock's share price produced when heavy losses drive short sellers to exit their positions all at once by buying shares of stock. S3 Partners analyst Ihor Dusaniwsky says these five stocks have been getting the most attention from short sellers heading into November: Sun Communities (ticker: SUI) Alphabet (GOOGL) Analog Devices (ADI) Alibaba Group Holding (BABA) Peloton Interactive (PTON) [  READ:  Sign up for stock news with our Invested newsletter. ] Sun Communities (SUI) Sun Communities is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns, operates, sells and leases manufactured housing and RVs. Dusaniwsky says more than 90% of Sun's $1.45 billion in net short interest heading into November represents new positions created in the past 30 days. Not only has Sun experienced the largest percent increase in short interest in the past month, but the stock also has endured nearly twice as much short selling as any other U.S.-listed stock in the past month, according to S3. Of the five stocks mentioned, Sun has the highest short percent of float at nearly 10.8%. A stock's float is the total number of outstanding shares that are free trading on the market and not held by institutional investors or company insiders.
