Shorting Research Solutions shares

There are currently 12,101 Research Solutions shares held short by investors – that's known as Research Solutions's "short interest". This figure is 62.7% down from 32,449 last month.

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

Research Solutions's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Research Solutions's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Research Solutions shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Research Solutions shares traded daily (recently around 34574.285714286). Research Solutions's SIR currently stands at 0.35. In other words for every 100,000 Research Solutions shares traded daily on the market, roughly 350 shares are currently held short.

However Research Solutions's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Research Solutions shares, or, against the total number of tradable Research Solutions shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Research Solutions's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Research Solutions shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.001% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Research Solutions shares, roughly 1 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 Research Solutions.
