Shorting Cytosorbents Corporation shares

There are currently 3.1 million Cytosorbents Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Cytosorbents Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 3.7% up from 3.0 million last month.

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

Cytosorbents Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Cytosorbents Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Cytosorbents Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Cytosorbents Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 245990.64234734). Cytosorbents Corporation's SIR currently stands at 12.61. In other words for every 100,000 Cytosorbents Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 12610 shares are currently held short.

However Cytosorbents Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Cytosorbents Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Cytosorbents Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Cytosorbents Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.07% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Cytosorbents Corporation shares in existence, roughly 70 shares are currently held short) or 0.073% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Cytosorbents Corporation shares, roughly 73 shares are currently held short).

A SIR above 10% would generally be considered pretty high, pointing to a potentially pessimistic outlook for the share price and a discouraging interest in betting against Cytosorbents Corporation.
