✅ No, we couldn't find extensive coverage from major authoritative news outlets explicitly listing Target, Caesars Entertainment, and six other stocks as positioned for short-selling opportunities recently.

However, here is what was found:

1. MarketBeat provides data on Caesars Entertainment's short interest, showing a moderate short interest ratio around 12.0% of float with about 4.4 days to cover as of mid-2025. This indicates active but not extreme short selling in Caesars Entertainment shares.

2. An analysis on Ainvest.com discusses Caesars Entertainment (CZR) as a stock with moderate short interest (11.59% float short ratio) but suggests it is more a calculated risk than a strong short candidate, highlighting the company's digital transformation and institutional support.

3. A brief reference from Barron's titled "Target, Caesars Entertainment and 6 Other Stocks to Sell Short" appears behind a login prompt and offers limited accessible detail.

These sources indicate Caesars Entertainment and possibly Target are among stocks with some short interest, but there is no comprehensive, widely reported confirmation from major news outlets about this specific shortlist or strong short-selling recommendations covering these eight stocks broadly at this time. The available data suggests moderate short-selling interest rather than a consensus "short-selling opportunity" alert.

Therefore, the original claim may reflect some market activity but lacks broad confirmation by top financial news publishers.
