There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Central European Media Enterprises shares can be evaluated.

Central European Media Enterprises's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

However Central European Media Enterprises's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Central European Media Enterprises shares, or, against the total number of tradable Central European Media Enterprises shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Central European Media Enterprises's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Central European Media Enterprises shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0086% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Central European Media Enterprises shares, roughly 9 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 Central European Media Enterprises.
