There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Ambac Financial Group shares can be evaluated.

Ambac Financial Group's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

However Ambac Financial Group's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Ambac Financial Group shares, or, against the total number of tradable Ambac Financial Group shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Ambac Financial Group's short interest could be expressed as 0.07% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Ambac Financial Group shares in existence, roughly 70 shares are currently held short) or 0.0872% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Ambac Financial Group shares, roughly 87 shares are currently held short).

A SIR above 10% would generally be considered pretty high, pointing to a potentially pessimistic outlook for the share price and a discouraging interest in betting against Ambac Financial Group.
