However AMC Networks's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of AMC Networks shares, or, against the total number of tradable AMC Networks shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case AMC Networks's short interest could be expressed as 0.15% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 AMC Networks shares in existence, roughly 150 shares are currently held short) or 0.3575% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable AMC Networks shares, roughly 358 shares are currently held short).

A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against AMC Networks.
