This mornings earnings reports include several heavily shorted retail names.  It turns out retail isn't going bankrupt just yet.

$SHLD is up over 10%.   It's short interest remains over 60% of the float.

$W another retail name under constant attack by the shorts still sports a near 30% short interest.

$BIG  Big lots reports earnings tonight and has an over 43% short interest.

$BURL reported earnings this morning and has almost 10% of its float in the hands of short sellers.  The shorts continue to get this name wrong.

$JCP has 42% of its float in the hands of short sellers.  They've been right for a long time on this name.

$KSS   is at 22% short interest.

$URBN is at 25%

$SHAK is 53% of the float short.

The bottom may not be in for retail, however if it is, or even if this mornings action symbolizes a medium term bottom, we could see quite the short squeeze in retail.
