Integrated Short-Side Analysis
Tracking short activity often requires reconciling two different datasets: the stale but accurate bi-weekly short interest report and the timely but flow-based daily short volume. InfoLib provides a consolidated dashboard that allows users to look up a ticker and view both datasets side-by-side. This integration is vital for researchers who need to understand the context of current short-selling pressure against the backdrop of existing open positions.
Metrics for Informed Decisions
The platform provides key metrics including shares short, short percentage of float, and days to cover. By allowing users to inspect raw Reg SHO records, it enables a deeper dive into the daily activity that might be driving changes in the broader short interest figures. This is particularly useful for identifying stocks that are experiencing a sudden surge in short-selling interest.
Key Takeaways
- Combines bi-weekly short interest with daily Reg SHO volume.
- Provides essential metrics like short % of float and days to cover.
- Allows for rapid screening of short-side activity.
