Shorting Fuling Global shares

There are currently 242 Fuling Global shares held short by investors – that's known as Fuling Global's "short interest". This figure is 86% down from 1,724 last month.

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

Fuling Global's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Fuling Global's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Fuling Global shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Fuling Global shares traded daily (recently around 12100). Fuling Global's SIR currently stands at 0.02. In other words for every 100,000 Fuling Global shares traded daily on the market, roughly 20 shares are currently held short.

However Fuling Global's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Fuling Global shares, or, against the total number of tradable Fuling Global shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Fuling Global's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Fuling Global shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Fuling Global shares, roughly 0 shares are currently held short).
