Short Interest
Many investors believe that rising short interest positions in a stock is a bearish indicator. They use the
Days to Cover statistic as a way to judge rising or falling sentiment in a stock from month-to-month, and
use the statistic as a way to compare investor sentiment between stocks.

About the Short Interest Page
Short selling is the selling of a security that the seller does not own, or any sale that is completed by the
delivery of a security borrowed by the seller. Short selling is a legitimate trading strategy. Typically, a short
sale involves the sale of a security at the current price which is settled with shares lent to the short seller by
a third party. The seller makes the short sale on the assumption that the price of the security will go down.
If this occurs, the short seller will purchase shares to lock in a profit, extinguish the short position and replace
the shares previously borrowed. Of course, if the stock rises in price, the short seller may elect to close out
the position through a purchase, and absorb the resulting loss. Firms are required to report their short
positions as of settlement on the 15th of each month. A compilation is published eight business
days after.
