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. That means you can open an active investing account to pick and choose companies you want to invest in, and open a robo-advisor account to help you build a portfolio and manage how much risk you take on.
• Our pick for active traders. We picked Interactive Brokers for this category because it offers advanced tools and low fees for active investors and pros. The simpler IBKR Lite platform is aimed at less-active investors, but all users older than 21 must meet a $20,000 liquid net worth requirement for a cash account.

Shorting Red Violet shares

There are currently 848,952 Red Violet shares held short by investors – that's known as Red Violet's "short interest". This figure is 1.5% down from 862,280 last month.

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

Red Violet's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Red Violet's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Red Violet shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Red Violet shares traded daily (recently around 51545.355191257). Red Violet's SIR currently stands at 16.47. In other words for every 100,000 Red Violet shares traded daily on the market, roughly 16470 shares are currently held short.

However Red Violet's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Red Violet shares, or, against the total number of tradable Red Violet shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Red Violet's short interest could be expressed as 0.07% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Red Violet shares in existence, roughly 70 shares are currently held short) or 0.1218% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Red Violet shares, roughly 122 shares are currently held short).

A SIR above 10% would generally be considered pretty high, pointing to a potentially pessimistic outlook for the share price and a discouraging interest in betting against Red Violet.
