Shorting Westwood Holdings Group shares

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Westwood Holdings Group shares can be evaluated.

Westwood Holdings Group's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Westwood Holdings Group's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Westwood Holdings Group shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Westwood Holdings Group shares traded daily (recently around 14534.146341463).

However Westwood Holdings Group's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Westwood Holdings Group shares, or, against the total number of tradable Westwood Holdings Group shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float").
