Short interest is the total of all shares sold short and not covered as

of a specific date. In the old days, this was considered a good way to judge how bearish or bullish a stock looked. A high short-interest

number is bullish and low short interest is bearish. This is not as

useful as it once was because funds use short selling as an arbitrage

technique. Short interest is also altered in conjunction with end-ofyear

tax strategies. You need to understand short interest and

put/call ratios because a rally may take place. In this case, lots of

bears are not good for your shorting strategy. The market always

seems to swing to extremes and move away from those points in the

opposite direction.
