Covenant Logistics Group's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

In this case Covenant Logistics Group's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Covenant Logistics Group shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0313% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Covenant Logistics Group shares, roughly 31 shares are currently held short).
