There are currently 81,942 Heritage Global shares held short by investors – that's known as Heritage Global's "short interest". This figure is 15.6% down from 97,092 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) is the quantity of Heritage Global shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Heritage Global shares traded daily (recently around 78040). Heritage Global's SIR currently stands at 1.05. In other words for every 100,000 Heritage Global shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1050 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 0.0036% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Heritage Global shares, roughly 4 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.

We're not expecting Heritage Global to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Heritage Global's shares were split on a 1:20 basis on 9 December 2003. So if you had owned 20 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Heritage Global shares – just the quantity. 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.
Over the last 12 months, Heritage Global's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.5499 up to $4.02. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Heritage Global's is 1.5715. This would suggest that Heritage Global's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
