How we chose our top picks

We evaluate stock trading platforms against a range of metrics that include fees, ease of use, available securities and advanced tools to meet specific investor needs. We encourage you to compare stock platforms to find one that's best for your particular budget and goals.

• Our pick for beginners. We chose Robinhood for this category because it offers commission-free trading and is easy to use. You can search for stocks by company name, and the mobile app is clean and intuitive to use.
• Our pick for building a portfolio. We chose SoFi for this category because it offers both commission-free stocks and a free robo-advisor.

Shorting Ocular Therapeutix shares

There are currently 4.6 million Ocular Therapeutix shares held short by investors – that's known as Ocular Therapeutix's "short interest". This figure is 15% down from 5.4 million last month.

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

Ocular Therapeutix's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Ocular Therapeutix's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Ocular Therapeutix shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Ocular Therapeutix shares traded daily (recently around 901564.24361493). Ocular Therapeutix's SIR currently stands at 5.09. In other words for every 100,000 Ocular Therapeutix shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5090 shares are currently held short.

However Ocular Therapeutix's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Ocular Therapeutix shares, or, against the total number of tradable Ocular Therapeutix shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Ocular Therapeutix's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Ocular Therapeutix shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.068% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Ocular Therapeutix shares, roughly 68 shares are currently held short).

A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Ocular Therapeutix.

Over the last 12 months, Ocular Therapeutix's shares have ranged in value from as little as $3.775 up to $24.3. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Ocular Therapeutix's is 2.1942. This would suggest that Ocular Therapeutix's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
