Isn't the time to short a stock when there is too much positive sentiment? I would never short stocks because I don't believe in timing the market, but if I were to, I wouldn't seek out stocks with overall negative sentiment as those would seem to have the most upside.

Yes and no.

At the end of the day, stock prices are moved by demand/supply of the shares themselves. Whether or not there's demand depends on sentiment.
