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