Shorting Lumber Liquidators shares

There are currently 1.3 million Lumber Liquidators shares held short by investors – that's known as Lumber Liquidators's "short interest". This figure is 33.9% down from 1.9 million last month.

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

Lumber Liquidators's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Lumber Liquidators's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Lumber Liquidators shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Lumber Liquidators shares traded daily (recently around 512033.19838057). Lumber Liquidators's SIR currently stands at 2.47. In other words for every 100,000 Lumber Liquidators shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2470 shares are currently held short.

However Lumber Liquidators's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Lumber Liquidators shares, or, against the total number of tradable Lumber Liquidators shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Lumber Liquidators's short interest could be expressed as 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Lumber Liquidators shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.0534% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Lumber Liquidators shares, roughly 53 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 Lumber Liquidators.
