There are currently 1.3 million LiqTech International shares held short by investors – that's known as LiqTech International's "short interest". This figure is 1.7% down from 1.3 million last month.

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

LiqTech International's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

LiqTech International's SIR currently stands at 40.61. In other words for every 100,000 LiqTech International shares traded daily on the market, roughly 40610 shares are currently held short.

However LiqTech International's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of LiqTech International shares, or, against the total number of tradable LiqTech International shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case LiqTech International's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 LiqTech International shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.0625% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable LiqTech International shares, roughly 63 shares are currently held short).
