Frequently asked questions
What is short percent of float?
Short % of float is short interest divided by the number of shares available for public trading. It is the most common way to gauge how crowded the short side is: above 10% is notable, above 20% is very high.
What is days to cover?
Days to cover (short interest ratio) is short interest divided by average daily trading volume. It estimates how many days of normal volume it would take for all short sellers to buy back their positions. Higher values mean more potential fuel for a squeeze.
What is the Squeeze Score?
A 0-100 composite score of short squeeze potential combining short % of float, days to cover, cost to borrow, borrow rate momentum, borrow rate persistence, and short interest change.
What do the fund short columns include?
Shares that mutual funds and ETFs reported selling short on their latest public N-PORT filing, added up across funds and adjusted for later splits. Put options funds hold are shown separately on each ownership page because they may be hedges. Written calls (mostly covered-call income funds), written puts (bullish), index options (not a single stock) and swaps (N-PORT describes their legs in free text, so their direction cannot be read reliably) are left out.
