Shorting VistaGen Therapeutics shares
There are currently 9.2 million VistaGen Therapeutics shares held short by investors – that's known as VistaGen Therapeutics's "short interest". This figure is 8.5% up from 8.5 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting VistaGen Therapeutics shares can be evaluated.
VistaGen Therapeutics's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
VistaGen Therapeutics's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of VistaGen Therapeutics shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of VistaGen Therapeutics shares traded daily (recently around 5.7 million). VistaGen Therapeutics's SIR currently stands at 1.63. In other words for every 100,000 VistaGen Therapeutics shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1630 shares are currently held short.
However VistaGen Therapeutics's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of VistaGen Therapeutics shares, or, against the total number of tradable VistaGen Therapeutics shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case VistaGen Therapeutics's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 VistaGen Therapeutics shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.0644% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable VistaGen Therapeutics shares, roughly 64 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 VistaGen Therapeutics.

Have VistaGen Therapeutics's shares ever split?
VistaGen Therapeutics's shares were split on a 1:20 basis on 13 August 2014. So if you had owned 20 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 VistaGen Therapeutics shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 1900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for VistaGen Therapeutics shares which in turn could have impacted VistaGen Therapeutics's share price.
VistaGen Therapeutics share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, VistaGen Therapeutics's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.35 up to $3.18. 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 VistaGen Therapeutics's is 0.8174. This would suggest that VistaGen Therapeutics's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
