Tecumseh Products (TECUA) is a Michigan-based manufacturer of compressors for a variety of applications, including air conditioners, freezers and refrigerators. The stock has taken a pounding since the recession, having fallen more than 70% from its 2008 peak.

Tecumseh trades for less than half of the company’s tangible book value. A company trading at such a hefty discount to book value is usually in deep trouble, but Tecumseh has zero net debt.

As such, rather than being dismissive, I now respond with excited optimism (the thought of discovering the next stock that looks “set to triple” is nothing if not exciting!).

Many investors in Gulf Resources continue to be worried about the company being revealed as a fraud. Other investors continue to have faith that this company is, in fact, different.

The following is a list of small cap stocks in rally mode, i.e. trading above their 20-day, 50-day and 200-day moving averages. In addition, all of these stocks have seen a significant increase in shares shorted, signaling an incremental skepticism of the rally by short sellers.

To compile this list we started with a universe of over 200 stocks with market caps between $100-$300M. We then sorted them by short float and looked at the change in shares shorted from January 28 to February 28. We ultimately found the 12 stocks mentioned below.
