Shorting BIO-key International shares

There are currently 809,623 BIO-key International shares held short by investors – that's known as BIO-key International's "short interest". This figure is 20.2% down from 1.0 million last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting BIO-key International shares can be evaluated.

BIO-key International's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

BIO-key International's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of BIO-key International shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of BIO-key International shares traded daily (recently around 490680.60606061). BIO-key International's SIR currently stands at 1.65. In other words for every 100,000 BIO-key International shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1650 shares are currently held short.

However BIO-key International's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of BIO-key International shares, or, against the total number of tradable BIO-key International shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case BIO-key International's short interest could be expressed as 0.1% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 BIO-key International shares in existence, roughly 100 shares are currently held short) or 0.1123% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable BIO-key International shares, roughly 112 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 BIO-key International.
