There are currently 283,425 Protalix BioTherapeutics shares held short by investors – that's known as Protalix BioTherapeutics's "short interest". This figure is 115.8% up from 131,336 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Protalix BioTherapeutics shares can be evaluated.

In this case Protalix BioTherapeutics's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Protalix BioTherapeutics shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0086% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Protalix BioTherapeutics shares, roughly 9 shares are currently held short).

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Protalix BioTherapeutics shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Protalix BioTherapeutics shares which in turn could have impacted Protalix BioTherapeutics's share price.
