How we chose our top picks

We evaluate stock trading platforms against a range of metrics that include fees, ease of use, available securities and advanced tools to meet specific investor needs. We encourage you to compare stock platforms to find one that's best for your particular budget and goals.

• Our pick for beginners. We chose Robinhood for this category because it offers commission-free trading and is easy to use. You can search for stocks by company name, and the mobile app is clean and intuitive to use.
• Our pick for building a portfolio. We chose SoFi for this category because it offers both commission-free stocks and a free robo-advisor. That means you can open an active investing account to pick and choose companies you want to invest in, and open a robo-advisor account to help you build a portfolio and manage how much risk you take on.
• Our pick for active traders. We picked Interactive Brokers for this category because it offers advanced tools and low fees for active investors and pros. The simpler IBKR Lite platform is aimed at less-active investors, but all users older than 21 must meet a $20,000 liquid net worth requirement for a cash account.

Shorting Codexis shares

There are currently 5.0 million Codexis shares held short by investors – that's known as Codexis's "short interest". This figure is 9.4% down from 5.5 million last month.

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

Codexis's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Codexis's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Codexis shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Codexis shares traded daily (recently around 678411.08108108). Codexis's SIR currently stands at 7.4. In other words for every 100,000 Codexis shares traded daily on the market, roughly 7400 shares are currently held short.

However Codexis's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Codexis shares, or, against the total number of tradable Codexis shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Codexis's short interest could be expressed as 0.08% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Codexis shares in existence, roughly 80 shares are currently held short) or 0.0812% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Codexis shares, roughly 81 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 Codexis.

Codexis share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Codexis's shares have ranged in value from as little as $8.43 up to $29.56. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Codexis's is 1.1483. This would suggest that Codexis's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
