There are currently 123.9 million Transocean shares held short by investors – that's known as Transocean's "short interest". This figure is 7.3% up from 115.5 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Transocean shares can be evaluated.
Transocean's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Transocean shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Transocean shares traded daily (recently around 26.4 million). Transocean's SIR currently stands at 4.69. In other words for every 100,000 Transocean shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4690 shares are currently held short.
However Transocean's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Transocean shares, or, against the total number of tradable Transocean shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Transocean's short interest could be expressed as 0.2% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Transocean shares in existence, roughly 200 shares are currently held short) or 0.2137% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Transocean shares, roughly 214 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 Transocean.

We're not expecting Transocean to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Transocean's shares were split on a 6996:10000 basis on 27 November 2007. So if you had owned 10000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 6996 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Transocean shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 42.9% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Transocean shares which in turn could have impacted Transocean's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Transocean's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.65 up to $7.28. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Transocean's is 2.4098. This would suggest that Transocean's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
