Questions
How is the most shorted list chosen?
Beta is at least 1.5, price is from $5 to $50, volume is at least 2 million shares, and market cap is from $300 million to $20 billion. Short interest is not on the tape.

Yes. Prices, yields, and the Stocklytics Score refresh with the daily market tape. The month in the title changes on its own.
Is this most shorted list a buy recommendation?
No. It is a ranked screen of current data. It is not a forecast, a target price, or personal advice.
What is the Stocklytics Score?
A 0–100 score that compares value, growth, and quality with the US market. The AI Score is a separate, signed-in figure.
Where is the short interest?
It is not on this tape. The screen is a liquid, higher-beta pond in the size range where squeezes are usually discussed.
