How to short and sell Tilray stocks

  1. Create a CFD or spread betting account.
  2. Search for the stock code. E.g. "APHA.TO"
  3. Choose your position size.
  4. Select "sell" rather than "buy".
  5. Confirm your position and keep tabs on it. You may wish to set limits on your position.

There are currently 12.0 million Tilray stocks held short by investors – that's known as Tilray's "short interest". This figure is 41.7% up from 8.4 million last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Tilray stocks can be evaluated.

Tilray's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Tilray's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Tilray stocks currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Tilray stocks traded daily (recently around 3.4 million). Tilray's SIR currently stands at 3.52. In other words for every 100,000 Tilray stocks traded daily on the market, roughly 3520 stocks are currently held short.

However Tilray's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Tilray stocks, or, against the total number of tradable Tilray stocks (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Tilray's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding stocks (for every 100,000 Tilray stocks in existence, roughly 50 stocks are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable stocks (for every 100,000 tradable Tilray stocks, roughly 0 stocks are currently held short).

Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the stock price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Tilray.

Have Tilray stocks ever split?

Tilray stocks were split on a 1:10 basis on 8 December 2014. So if you had owned 10 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 Tilray stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Tilray stocks which in turn could have impacted Tilray's stock price.

Tilray stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Tilray's stocks have ranged in value from as little as C$5.64 up to C$30.7. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (TO average) beta is 1, while Tilray's is 2.6198. This would suggest that Tilray's stocks are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
