There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Natural Health Trends shares can be evaluated.
Natural Health Trends's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

However Natural Health Trends's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Natural Health Trends shares, or, against the total number of tradable Natural Health Trends shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Natural Health Trends's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Natural Health Trends shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0046% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Natural Health Trends shares, roughly 5 shares are currently held short).

Recently Natural Health Trends has paid out, on average, around 1261.83% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 15.38% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Natural Health Trends shareholders could enjoy a 15.38% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Natural Health Trends's case, that would currently equate to about $0.8 per share.
Natural Health Trends's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Natural Health Trends shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 9900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Natural Health Trends shares which in turn could have impacted Natural Health Trends's share price.
