Shorting Heat Biologics shares

There are currently 7.9 million Heat Biologics shares held short by investors – that's known as Heat Biologics's "short interest". This figure is 12.7% down from 9.1 million last month.

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

Heat Biologics's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Heat Biologics's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Heat Biologics shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Heat Biologics shares traded daily (recently around 4.8 million). Heat Biologics's SIR currently stands at 1.66. In other words for every 100,000 Heat Biologics shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1660 shares are currently held short.

However Heat Biologics's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Heat Biologics shares, or, against the total number of tradable Heat Biologics shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Heat Biologics's short interest could be expressed as 0.1% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Heat Biologics shares in existence, roughly 100 shares are currently held short) or 0.1055% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Heat Biologics shares, roughly 106 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 Heat Biologics.
