Shorting Green Plains shares

There are currently 9.4 million Green Plains shares held short by investors – that's known as Green Plains's "short interest". This figure is 3.2% up from 9.1 million last month.

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

Green Plains's SIR currently stands at 8.98. In other words for every 100,000 Green Plains shares traded daily on the market, roughly 8980 shares are currently held short.

However Green Plains's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Green Plains shares, or, against the total number of tradable Green Plains shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Green Plains's short interest could be expressed as 0.19% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Green Plains shares in existence, roughly 190 shares are currently held short) or 0.2202% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Green Plains shares, roughly 220 shares are currently held short).
