Shorting Nova LifeStyle shares
There are currently 7,408 Nova LifeStyle shares held short by investors – that's known as Nova LifeStyle's "short interest". This figure is 70.1% down from 24,800 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Nova LifeStyle shares can be evaluated.
Nova LifeStyle's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Nova LifeStyle's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Nova LifeStyle shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Nova LifeStyle shares traded daily (recently around 74080). Nova LifeStyle's SIR currently stands at 0.1. In other words for every 100,000 Nova LifeStyle shares traded daily on the market, roughly 100 shares are currently held short.
However Nova LifeStyle's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Nova LifeStyle shares, or, against the total number of tradable Nova LifeStyle shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Nova LifeStyle's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Nova LifeStyle shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0021% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Nova LifeStyle shares, roughly 2 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 Nova LifeStyle.

Have Nova LifeStyle's shares ever split?
Nova LifeStyle's shares were split on a 1:5 basis on 23 December 2019. So if you had owned 5 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Nova LifeStyle shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Nova LifeStyle shares which in turn could have impacted Nova LifeStyle's share price.
Nova LifeStyle share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Nova LifeStyle's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.66 up to $3.08. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

This would suggest that Nova LifeStyle's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
