Shorting Heritage Global shares

There are currently 6,035 Heritage Global shares held short by investors – that's known as Heritage Global's "short interest". This figure is 580.4% up from 887 last month.

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

Heritage Global's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Heritage Global's SIR currently stands at 0.16. In other words for every 100,000 Heritage Global shares traded daily on the market, roughly 160 shares are currently held short.

However Heritage Global's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Heritage Global shares, or, against the total number of tradable Heritage Global shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Heritage Global's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Heritage Global shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0003% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Heritage Global shares, roughly 0 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 Heritage Global.

However, indirectly, the new 1900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Heritage Global shares which in turn could have impacted Heritage Global's share price.
