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

Eastside Distilling's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

However Eastside Distilling's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Eastside Distilling shares, or, against the total number of tradable Eastside Distilling shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Eastside Distilling's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Eastside Distilling shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.029% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Eastside Distilling shares, roughly 29 shares are currently held short).
