Top 5 Supermarket Stocks To Buy Right Now

LONDON -- The share price movements of�Ocado Group� (LSE: OCDO  ) have always been entertaining, but events of this past week have been fairly remarkable, even by its standards.

The online grocer is one of the stocks that investors seem to love to hate. Currently, it's one of the most widely shorted shares on the market, with a short interest of some 16%, according to publicly disclosed holdings.

After trading as low as 170 pence at the end of last week, the shares jumped 12% on Wednesday. At one stage on Friday morning, they had leapt a further 20% to just under 250 pence, before slipping back somewhat.

A "short squeeze" could well be taking place, whereby those betting on the share price going down are forced into the market to buy shares to cover their positions.

A potential deal with�Morrison Supermarkets� (LSE: MRW  ) also seems to be driving excitement right now. Yesterday, Morrisons said it plans to launch its online service by January, and reconfirmed that it was in discussions with Ocado about this. However, Morrisons was also at pains to point that its plans were not dependent on Ocado.
