Shorting Alamos Gold shares

There are currently 2.9 million Alamos Gold shares held short by investors – that's known as Alamos Gold's "short interest". This figure is 52.8% down from 6.1 million last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Alamos Gold shares can be evaluated.

Alamos Gold's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Alamos Gold's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Alamos Gold shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Alamos Gold shares traded daily (recently around 3.0 million). Alamos Gold's SIR currently stands at 0.96. In other words for every 100,000 Alamos Gold shares traded daily on the market, roughly 960 shares are currently held short.

However Alamos Gold's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Alamos Gold shares, or, against the total number of tradable Alamos Gold shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Alamos Gold's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Alamos Gold shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Alamos Gold shares, roughly 0 shares are currently held short).

Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Alamos Gold.

In Alamos Gold's case, that would currently equate to about $0.06 per share.
