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

Howard Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

In this case Howard Bancorp's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Howard Bancorp shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0166% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Howard Bancorp shares, roughly 17 shares are currently held short).
