Argo Group International's SIR currently stands at 2.4. In other words for every 100,000 Argo Group International shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2400 shares are currently held short.
However Argo Group International's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Argo Group International shares, or, against the total number of tradable Argo Group International shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Argo Group International's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Argo Group International shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0103% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Argo Group International shares, roughly 10 shares are currently held short).
