Barrick Gold (GOLD) continues to face heavy short-selling pressure, remaining on the FINRA threshold list for 77 consecutive trading days. The company currently reports a short interest of 16.1% of the float. With a days-to-cover ratio of 8.0, the stock is susceptible to increased volatility should short sellers be forced to cover their positions. The borrow fee is currently reported at 0.4%. The combination of high short interest and a significant days-to-cover metric makes GOLD a ticker to watch for potential squeeze setups, provided there is a catalyst for a price reversal.
