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 Sphere 3D shares

There are currently 253,944 Sphere 3D shares held short by investors – that's known as Sphere 3D's "short interest". This figure is 32.2% up from 192,065 last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Sphere 3D shares can be evaluated.

Sphere 3D's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Sphere 3D's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Sphere 3D shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Sphere 3D shares traded daily (recently around 2.1 million). Sphere 3D's SIR currently stands at 0.12. In other words for every 100,000 Sphere 3D shares traded daily on the market, roughly 120 shares are currently held short.

However Sphere 3D's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Sphere 3D shares, or, against the total number of tradable Sphere 3D shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Sphere 3D's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Sphere 3D shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0331% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Sphere 3D shares, roughly 33 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 Sphere 3D.

Have Sphere 3D's shares ever split?

Sphere 3D's shares were split on a 1:8 basis on 6 November 2018. So if you had owned 8 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Sphere 3D shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 700% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Sphere 3D shares which in turn could have impacted Sphere 3D's share price.

Sphere 3D share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Sphere 3D's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.33 up to $5.16. 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 Sphere 3D's is 1.8655. This would suggest that Sphere 3D's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
