Shorting Franklin Street Properties shares

There are currently 3.0 million Franklin Street Properties shares held short by investors – that's known as Franklin Street Properties's "short interest". This figure is 6% up from 2.8 million last month.

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

Franklin Street Properties's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Franklin Street Properties's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Franklin Street Properties shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Franklin Street Properties shares traded daily (recently around 444229.48148148).

In other words for every 100,000 Franklin Street Properties shares traded daily on the market, roughly 6750 shares are currently held short.

However Franklin Street Properties's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Franklin Street Properties shares, or, against the total number of tradable Franklin Street Properties shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Franklin Street Properties's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Franklin Street Properties shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0442% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Franklin Street Properties shares, roughly 44 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 Franklin Street Properties.
