Shorting Kelso Technologies shares

Kelso Technologies's SIR currently stands at 0.38. In other words for every 100,000 Kelso Technologies shares traded daily on the market, roughly 380 shares are currently held short.

However Kelso Technologies's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Kelso Technologies shares, or, against the total number of tradable Kelso Technologies shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Kelso Technologies's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Kelso Technologies shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0327% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Kelso Technologies shares, roughly 33 shares are currently held short).
