What to Expect.]( It's time to buy cyclicals and small-caps. That's been a bold call, especially for fund managers who have acquired a "hot-stove mentality" after being burned over the past 10 years. But this time, says Savita Subramanian, Bank of America's widely followed strategist, outperformance could last for years, as it did after the tech bubble burst.

The brick-and-mortar video game retailer was among the market's most heavily shorted stocks to start the year - but a group of investors, sparked by the Reddit community r/WallStreetBets, sparked a campaign to purchase shares. The primary reasoning was that a sudden spurt of buying could trigger a "short squeeze" of people who betting against the company, driving GameStop's shares even higher. Many short squeezes end the same way: Buyers lock in their gains, and the stock settles back to earth. However, several heavily shorted stocks currently boast real fundamental bull cases for longer-term buyers. Some haven't yet been caught up in a short squeeze, so they could benefit from one as soon as enough investors realize the improvements they've been making. Others have already been squeezed higher and could dip once short-term traders tire, providing a better entry point for buy-and-hold investors. Here, we look at 10 of the top shorted stocks that are worth a much more serious look. In each case, short interest accounts for at least 10% of the float - a high number that points to a greater likelihood of a short squeeze. We'll explain why each stock here could be more than just the flavor of the week.

For most future retirees, income is relatively quantifiable, with social security, pensions, investments, and savings. Anticipating expenses may be less precise, with unknowns like inflation, health care costs, and unexpected payments. Once the finances are established, a question for a number of retirees is where to live. Many are content to stay put, especially if their mortgage is paid off and their house and neighborhood are still ideal. For some, though, the nest is empty and there's too much unnecessary space to maintain. Children and grandchildren may have moved away. Daily needs like shopping, health care, socializing, and staying active might not be sufficiently convenient. Are weather-related necessities like snow shoveling, home heating, and landscape care becoming a burden? These are all considerations that come into play when planning for retirement. With input from several sources, we've compiled a list of 11 cities in the U.S. that are considered to be among the best places to retire.
