Shorting VistaGen Therapeutics shares

There are currently 2.9 million VistaGen Therapeutics shares held short by investors – that's known as VistaGen Therapeutics's "short interest". This figure is 9.2% down from 3.2 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 695968.34532374). VistaGen Therapeutics's SIR currently stands at 4.17. In other words for every 100,000 VistaGen Therapeutics shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4170 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 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 VistaGen Therapeutics shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.0428% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable VistaGen Therapeutics shares, roughly 43 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.
