Shorting Golden Star Resources shares

There are currently 1.4 million Golden Star Resources shares held short by investors – that's known as Golden Star Resources's "short interest". This figure is 0.5% down from 1.4 million last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Golden Star Resources shares can be evaluated.

Golden Star Resources's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Golden Star Resources's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Golden Star Resources shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Golden Star Resources shares traded daily (recently around 395106.94444444). Golden Star Resources's SIR currently stands at 3.6. In other words for every 100,000 Golden Star Resources shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3600 shares are currently held short.

However Golden Star Resources's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Golden Star Resources shares, or, against the total number of tradable Golden Star Resources shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Golden Star Resources's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Golden Star Resources shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0154% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Golden Star Resources shares, roughly 15 shares are currently held short).

Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Golden Star Resources.
