Below is a list of small-cap stocks that have been heavily shorted by the street, and should the market continue to rally, these stocks could see their  share price launch into the stratosphere (if they haven't begun so already) because of the bears being forced to cover their short positions in the stock. Based on the number of shares that are being borrowed, for some of these stocks, it could take as many as 50-70 days to cover all the shares held short in the individual stock.

If you don't know what a short squeeze is, that is where a stock starts to rise rapidly, and as the trend continues to escalate, the short sellers will likely want out. For example, say a stock rises 5% in one day, those with short positions may be forced to liquidate and cover their position by purchasing the stock. If enough short sellers buy back the stock, the price is pushed even higher.

Of those listed below, pay close attention to O'Charley's (CHUX) which is trying to breakout of a bull-flag, and once that happens, the shorts could start covering their positions in droves. The other stock is CBIZ Inc. (CBZ) which has held up quite well to today's market pressures and has broken out of recent consolidation. Its another one that I think could make a big move.

Here's the list of 13 Short Squeeze Stocks..
