Shorting Guangshen Railway Company shares

There are currently 1,044 Guangshen Railway Company shares held short by investors – that's known as Guangshen Railway Company's "short interest". This figure is 16.9% down from 1,257 last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Guangshen Railway Company shares can be evaluated.

Guangshen Railway Company's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

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