Western Copper and Gold Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

However Western Copper and Gold Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Western Copper and Gold Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Western Copper and Gold Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Western Copper and Gold Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Western Copper and Gold Corporation shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0031% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Western Copper and Gold Corporation shares, roughly 3 shares are currently held short).
