I screened the sector by dividend stocks with the highest amount of short selling stocks, measured by the short float ratio. The ratio shows how many stocks are shorted by investors. Companies with a high ratio of short float have a little upside potential if investors need to close their short position. Nine dividend stocks from the technology sector have a short float ratio of more than 10 percent and four are recommended to buy.
