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

LifeVantage Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

However LifeVantage Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of LifeVantage Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable LifeVantage Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case LifeVantage Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 LifeVantage Corporation shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.0596% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable LifeVantage Corporation shares, roughly 60 shares are currently held short).

A SIR above 10% would generally be considered pretty high, pointing to a potentially pessimistic outlook for the share price and a discouraging interest in betting against LifeVantage Corporation.
