Shorting Severn Bancorp shares

There are currently 5,638 Severn Bancorp shares held short by investors – that's known as Severn Bancorp's "short interest". This figure is 46.6% up from 3,845 last month.

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

Severn Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Severn Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Severn Bancorp shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Severn Bancorp shares traded daily (recently around 10067.857142857). Severn Bancorp's SIR currently stands at 0.56. In other words for every 100,000 Severn Bancorp shares traded daily on the market, roughly 560 shares are currently held short.

However Severn Bancorp's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Severn Bancorp shares, or, against the total number of tradable Severn Bancorp shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Severn Bancorp's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Severn Bancorp shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0006% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Severn Bancorp 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 Severn Bancorp.
