Shorting GCI Liberty shares
There are currently 4.6 million GCI Liberty shares held short by investors – that's known as GCI Liberty's "short interest". This figure is 10.5% up from 4.1 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting GCI Liberty shares can be evaluated.
GCI Liberty's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
GCI Liberty's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of GCI Liberty shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of GCI Liberty shares traded daily (recently around 680701.49253731). GCI Liberty's SIR currently stands at 6.7. In other words for every 100,000 GCI Liberty shares traded daily on the market, roughly 6700 shares are currently held short.
However GCI Liberty's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of GCI Liberty shares, or, against the total number of tradable GCI Liberty shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case GCI Liberty's short interest could be expressed as 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 GCI Liberty shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.0515% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable GCI Liberty shares, roughly 52 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 GCI Liberty.

Have GCI Liberty's shares ever split?
GCI Liberty's shares were split on a 2035:1000 basis on 28 August 2014. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2035 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your GCI Liberty shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50.9% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for GCI Liberty shares which in turn could have impacted GCI Liberty's share price.
GCI Liberty share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, GCI Liberty's shares have ranged in value from as little as $26.51 up to $95.63. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while GCI Liberty's is 1.1003. This would suggest that GCI Liberty's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
