There are currently 80,984 Universal Security Instruments shares held short by investors – that's known as Universal Security Instruments's "short interest". This figure is 437.2% up from 15,075 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Universal Security Instruments shares can be evaluated.

In other words for every 100,000 Universal Security Instruments shares traded daily on the market, roughly 20 shares are currently held short.
However Universal Security Instruments's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Universal Security Instruments shares, or, against the total number of tradable Universal Security Instruments shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Universal Security Instruments's short interest could be expressed as 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Universal Security Instruments shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.0392% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Universal Security Instruments shares, roughly 39 shares are currently held short).
