Focus on names that have seen excessive growth in their short positions in a relatively small period of time, counsels Gilbert. But instead of buying the stock, establish a position in the options market by buying calls and then selling the corresponding put. Why? She says it will allow you to establish a synthetic position in the company and enhance returns if the stock gets any kind of short squeeze.
