Limoneira Company's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

However Limoneira Company's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Limoneira Company shares, or, against the total number of tradable Limoneira Company shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Limoneira Company's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Limoneira Company shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.039% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Limoneira Company shares, roughly 39 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 Limoneira Company.
