At EarningsBeats.com, we research short squeeze candidates, looking for stocks with very high "short % of float".  When short sellers short a stock, they essentially borrow shares from owners of the stock, with the promise of buying them back later and returning those borrowed shares to the rightful owners.  The short sellers' hope is that they'll borrow and sell stocks, looking for a drop in price, at which time they'll back back those shares cheaper and return them to the owners.  So they look to buy low and sell high - just like every other trader, they simply do it in reverse order, selling first and buying later.  The higher the short % of float, the more guaranteed buyers you'll have later.  Any type of positive news or price action can trigger a tsunami of buyers (short squeeze), sending prices higher and into a frenzy.  Here are the top performers in our Short Squeeze ChartList (SSCL) from Tuesday:
