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

Steven Madden's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

However Steven Madden's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Steven Madden shares, or, against the total number of tradable Steven Madden shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Steven Madden's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Steven Madden shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0382% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Steven Madden shares, roughly 38 shares are currently held short).
