Shorting Ampio Pharmaceuticals shares

There are currently 17.9 million Ampio Pharmaceuticals shares held short by investors – that's known as Ampio Pharmaceuticals's "short interest". This figure is 12.6% up from 15.9 million last month.

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

Ampio Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Ampio Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Ampio Pharmaceuticals shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Ampio Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily (recently around 5.7 million). Ampio Pharmaceuticals's SIR currently stands at 3.13. In other words for every 100,000 Ampio Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3130 shares are currently held short.

However Ampio Pharmaceuticals's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Ampio Pharmaceuticals shares, or, against the total number of tradable Ampio Pharmaceuticals shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Ampio Pharmaceuticals's short interest could be expressed as 0.1% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Ampio Pharmaceuticals shares in existence, roughly 100 shares are currently held short) or 0.1027% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Ampio Pharmaceuticals shares, roughly 103 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 Ampio Pharmaceuticals.
