Shorting Amarin Corporation shares
There are currently 26.4 million Amarin Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Amarin Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 5% down from 27.8 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Amarin Corporation shares can be evaluated.
Amarin Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Amarin Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Amarin Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Amarin Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 6.3 million). Amarin Corporation's SIR currently stands at 4.17. In other words for every 100,000 Amarin Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4170 shares are currently held short.
However Amarin Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Amarin Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Amarin Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Amarin Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.07% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Amarin Corporation shares in existence, roughly 70 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Amarin Corporation 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 Amarin Corporation.

Have Amarin Corporation's shares ever split?
Amarin Corporation's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 18 January 2008. So if you had owned 10 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Amarin Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Amarin Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Amarin Corporation's share price.
Amarin Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Amarin Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $3.36 up to $24.67. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Amarin Corporation's is 2.66. This would suggest that Amarin Corporation's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
