How we chose our top picks

We evaluate stock trading platforms against a range of metrics that include fees, ease of use, available securities and advanced tools to meet specific investor needs. We encourage you to compare stock platforms to find one that's best for your particular budget and goals.

• Our pick for beginners. We chose Robinhood for this category because it offers commission-free trading and is easy to use. You can search for stocks by company name, and the mobile app is clean and intuitive to use.
• Our pick for building a portfolio. We chose SoFi for this category because it offers both commission-free stocks and a free robo-advisor. That means you can open an active investing account to pick and choose companies you want to invest in, and open a robo-advisor account to help you build a portfolio and manage how much risk you take on.
• Our pick for active traders. We picked Interactive Brokers for this category because it offers advanced tools and low fees for active investors and pros. The simpler IBKR Lite platform is aimed at less-active investors, but all users older than 21 must meet a $20,000 liquid net worth requirement for a cash account.

Shorting Li Auto shares

There are currently 21.8 million Li Auto shares held short by investors – that's known as Li Auto's "short interest". This figure is 43.4% up from 15.2 million last month.

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

Li Auto's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Li Auto's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Li Auto shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Li Auto shares traded daily (recently around 24.2 million). Li Auto's SIR currently stands at 0.9. In other words for every 100,000 Li Auto shares traded daily on the market, roughly 900 shares are currently held short.

However Li Auto's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Li Auto shares, or, against the total number of tradable Li Auto shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Li Auto's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Li Auto shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Li Auto 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 Li Auto.
